On the other hand, the Head-Up Display <em>shows such information in an <strong>augmented form<\/strong> on the windscreen <\/em>in front of the driver\u2019s eyes so that the driver can maintain the maximum attention on the road<em>. <\/em>The modern Head-Up Display (HUD) shows <strong>multiple bits of information<\/strong> regarding the road conditions and how the car is being driven. However, generally the Head-Up Display will show the <em>speed of the car, turn-by-turn navigation, gear position, gravitational forces, oil temperature, night-vision, pathways overlaid on the road, foolproof navigation and a lot more.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the driver\u2019s focus doesn\u2019t get diverted from the road, the probability of a road accident reduces to minimum and this is why Head-Up Display has become an <strong><u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/5-advanced-vehicle-safety-technologies\/\">essential safety feature<\/a><\/u><\/strong> for modern day cars.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Head-Up Display (HUD) In Automotive Industry<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Head-Up Display (HUD) became a <em>part of the automotive industry in 1988 through the efforts of General Motors.<\/em> They were the first to use a Head-Up Display in their <strong>Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Indy Pace Cars,<\/strong> HUD was also available as an option on Cutlass Supreme and Pontiac Grand Prix before it became a more widely available feature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In 1998, Chevrolet Corvette (C5) <\/strong>became the<strong> first car to offer first color HUD system<\/strong> and in 2012, Pioneer Corporation introduced a navigation system that projected HUD in front of the driver\u2019s view so that real time data for the roads and conditions ahead could be viewed by the driver easily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/what-is-head-up-display-hud-and-how-it-works-e1490944176702.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24193\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24193\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/what-is-head-up-display-hud-and-how-it-works-e1490944176702.jpg\" alt=\"What is Head-Up Display (HUD) and how it Works?\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also read: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/understanding-the-lane-assist-safety-technology-in-detail\/\">Understanding the Lane Assist Safety Technology<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Types of Head-Up Display (HUD)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, there are two types of Head-Up Display that are currently being used in automobiles.
