From: matrixxx09 on 6 Sep 2009 09:36 GPS navigation in the car, all in a HUD... Cameras on front of car feed back to sat system, which recognizes signs, the road itself, essentially the whole 'scene'. (The scenes are constantly updated in the database by the end users themselves). The instructions are then projected onto the windshield in the form of actual arrows appearing on the road itself (at least from the driver's viewpoint, like the 1st down line in football), the relevant road signs are 'highlighted', and so forth.

Rode with a friend and her GPS a couple of weeks ago and the stupid thing kept saying "turn right", which would've put us in a field of alfalfa. The actual right turn was 2 miles away.
