       AR-HUD accurately combines image information with actual traffic conditions through a specially designed optical system inside. It projects tire pressure, speed, rotational speed and other information onto the front windshield. This enables car owners to view car-related information without having to lower their heads while driving. Its navigation can be integrated with actual road conditions and scenes for display, which is more vivid and represents the future development direction of HUD.

       With the development of autonomous driving, AR-HUD will play a more important role in safe driving. At present, the mainland, Chinese Express, Carradish, Panasonic, WayRay, Harman, etc. are all conducting research on AR-HUD. AR-HUD is very intuitive for users. By combining real road condition information, some virtual arrows appear in real time to intuitively guide us forward, so as to avoid crossing intersections and distracting drivers during driving.

       In terms of driving safety, AR-HUD will combine ADAS and automotive sensors to make safety reminders. For example, following distance warning, line pressure warning, traffic light monitoring, early lane change, pedestrian warning, road sign display, lane departure, obstacles ahead, driver status monitoring, etc. At the same time, the color changes to remind the driver of safety; in terms of driving entertainment, AR-HUD will combine current location, map and scene AI to provide drivers with information such as passing scenic spots, shopping malls, restaurants, etc., to realize the car and road environment Interconnection.

       AR-HUD is customizable. In different scenarios, the driver can manipulate the display information through the steering wheel, central control, etc., and select different AR-HUD scene modes and settings, so that some driving information can be reasonably superimposed on the driver’s view.
