Tech Thursday: GM Augmented Reality

GM is currently developing a system that would assist drivers with directions and relevant safety information via a windshield display. This is the latest in a long series of computerized tools (ABS, parking assist, etc.) to improve the ease and safety of driving. A GM spokesperson said it wouldn't be available commercially until 2016 at the earliest, but I have to admit it's a pretty neat concept. The fact that it tracks a driver's eyes and head movements to determine what to display is, to me, the best part of the proposed software.
