Fighter pilots and Google Glass owners: Garmin is channeling a little of both with its latest navigation accessory, the Garmin HUD, and we took some time to peer through the head-up display while at IFA 2013.

Pioneer has announced the launch of its much-anticipated NavGate HUD, a head-up display for drivers that brings a positively science fiction-esque reality to the every day driving experience. The system works using a small projector that clips to the sun visor, projecting at the windshield in what is the equivalent of a 30-inch display. The […]
Just a couple of years ago, the idea of a device projecting driving directions onto a car’s windshield seemed super futuristic. Now they’re becoming a reality, with the European release of Pioneer’s NavGate head-up display the latest. And believe it or not, this one’s actually pretty affordable.

Cars and technology go hand in hand, that is without a doubt. In fact, Google themselves have been working on a self-driving car for quite some time now (and are still refining it), and other vehicle manufacturers too, have been “pumping” new technologies into their rides over the years at an unprecedented rate. There is a report by The Telegraph that claims that the European Union might want to force auto manufacturer’s to throw in speed limiting technology in their vehicles.
Known as the Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) program, the whole point behind it is to help save lives, and this will hopefully happen by limiting the speed of cars according to the speed limit on the road. To achieve this, one would need to make sure that cameras in the car will be able to read the speed limit signs, determining the maximum speed for the road afterwards. The other idea would involve satellites beaming down relevant information straight into the vehicle. Of course, older vehicles would need to be retro-fitted with such technology if the idea was to take off. Do you think that speed kills, or is it the irresponsibility of drivers instead? Some might even call it an invasion of privacy.
