A Computer on a Screen

New ideas for future cars are in high demand. A great idea implemented by the car brand BMW is augmented reality dashboards. Yeah, i know, nobody know what that means. An augmented reality dashboard is similar to a GPS but on the actual wind shield. This idea may seem futuristic but car companies have pondered on this idea long before GPS's were even made.

A parallel can be drawn to the Terminator. When the Terminator wants to identify an enemy a screen pops up and gives information regarding the enemy. Same concept with the augmented reality dashboard. When something unexpected pops up the dashboard will flash red or manuever the driver safely into another lane. 

This concept can save thousands of lives. Sometimes people don't notice dangerous obstacles in the road or a quick braking by the car in front of them. This dashboard is not only good, but is revolutionary in cars. 

There are also glasses being produced that can identify what is wrong with the engine of a car all by itself. This can save precious time and money for workers and customers. The reality dashboard will also be able to identify objects and zoom in or out to get a better view of such objects. 

Although augmented reality dashboards need tweaking, they are a real idea of the future.

  3. Just from reading the first few sentences, I can tell that you did your research. I really like how you compared these new cars to the Terminator’s technology. I also think that these could really dramatically change that automotive industry! The glasses you mentioned could not only save money, but maybe even the driver’s life! Overall, this was a great post!

  4. I like this blog post a lot because I've never heard of the augmented reality dashboard before and I'm curious to learn more about it. It sounds really helpful to the car driver though and I want one when I drive. You have a great blog going. Keep up the good work!
