There we go, improved even more on the NX. HUD needs to be more readily available to customers. I got the money, they got the 'goods' so lets make it happen

As others have noted, it's called Heads-Up-Display. It's been around for years in military aircraft, (particularly fighters and attack planes), so the pilot can have information directly in his/her line of sight when going into combat or in a tight situation.

I'm usually around 5mph over the speed limit whenever I'm around cops (or I'll just stay with traffic if they are going slightly faster).

Biggest pet peeve is when people slam on their brakes and go slow for cops that already have other people pulled over or are on the other side of the highway.
