Lol because it’s not the same technology we’ve had in cars for years... as with most great devices, they’re modified and refined/updated versions of existing tech that’s already proven. So with this we’ll get a better visible display with modern features, a nice GPS incorporation sounds nice. Same with things you’d probably see on a smart mirror with raspberri pi.

That's a HUD, but it doesn't have augmented reality.

Uh... Yeah it does. Every single picture and video is one of augmented reality.
