- A 2007 study conducted jointly by researchers at the Munich University of Technology and BMW found that while HUDs present information more efficiently and keep drivers’ eyes aimed at the road, HUDs also reduce peripheral vision and make drivers more likely to overestimate the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in their path. They also continue to distract drivers from noticing roadway hazards.
- In 2004, NASA studied the use of HUDs in aircraft, finding similar results for pilots. Although HUDs continue to be used in aircraft, both NASA and the Munich University of Technology concluded that they are not universally safe.

I constantly use GPS in my car for business.
You may not know it, but if you have even a fairly recent smartphone
(Samsung S4 and later for example) it can broadcast full 1080p video to your home TV.
So, in same way I see no reason why the manufacturers couldn't build-in
Bluetooth reception for a phone's map-screen and voice prompts.
In fact, if it weren't for the screen being used for radio & backup camera, I'd be tempted
to replace it with a mini-TV that *would* receive such a broadcast from my phone.
