It'll hardly be more complex than the Google Maps Street View images!

Imagine a lawsuit of somebody saying - sorry, couldn't see your dog / something in the distance as my heads up display was blocking you... Just like better sound insulation and more comfortable ride - all designed to make people feel more comfortable, drive faster and pay less attention to the road... seems unrelated to the Volt…and silly.

These resources are better spent figuring out how to up the AER and the gas mileage, IMHO. KISS LJGTVWOTR!! NMST! More gee-whiz stuff I don’t need.

Luckily I didn't make any major dumb typos above(?). EDIT: oops never mind, it is just a bit flaky, I need to wait a couple minutes before I can do an edit (maybe just my browser) Hmm, I seem to be getting the Edit capability about 50% of the time these days.

Driving through San Francisco a few years ago I had a very scary time due to the traffic lights being on poles at the side of the road, instead of directly overhead as I am used to. Also there was a ton of "clutter", with it being San Francisco and all, making it tough to discover the light locations at each intersection. Oh, and I was also distracted by the panhandlers at each intersection! So maybe a system could be worked out where the various features (show road, show stoplights, map, road hazards, etc) could be turned off and on. I just hope they make people pull over and put the car in Park before fiddling with this.
