We might enhance this tech to project the image 10meter further to alert turtle speed driver in-front "Ai yo yo A-Chi Cepat lah" to drive faster. Wat do u guys think?

Next, it will have new fetures like fuel eco, tyre info, weather info, google, iTune & so & so……. maybe in future u can make video call by using this tech

Initial R, Don't look any further most of the features are

already incorperated in the present iDrive.

Well that's the price you have to pay

if you want the best in technology and motoring.

HUD is used to complement its sophsticated iDrive system. As the

driver now need not get distracted or having to look at the Navi

at the iDrive display.

Yeah, i agree its a splendid evolution. I wonder how long such tech will take to be common in most cars…

btw, on the positive, BMWs are owned by people who are 'Bijak Mengurus Wang'…

The technology of the electronics is getting better and better. Last time only fighter jets have them…now even cars have them too..Maybe for another decade cars will be able to move by themselves….Oh wait…car who move by themselves were invented ages ago…they're called "taxi"

Hi Paul, I give some assumption here about the LED technology, I do not know the actual HUD design of this however.

The latest design implementing fewer LED but with richer colours output maybe through the colour mixing techniques. Basically, mixing RGB colour with certain ratio through proper calculation could give you million colours output, but for certain this HUD does not required something close true colour. Such technique required more complex circuit with microcontroller control. Still, the most expensive part will be those LED. By doing this, maker save the cost, customer get more funky display, good for both!

While the previous design probably just simply projecting those LED colours on the windscreen and that's it.

I think its got more to do that less parts are easier to maintain compared to more parts, in this case LED;s. But LED's last like forever unless you go and break them.

The HUD is basically a small LCD at the top of the dashboard that projects its reflection onto the windscreen – the result is the HUD image.

paul, the HUD is not part of the windscreen? Then the Windscreen will be cheaper. If the HUD is part of the windscreen, think the cost would be more than RM10K, with all the other gizmos. Heard the Peugeot windscreen with the auto wipers, speed sensitive wipers, etc cost RM6K.

Paul Tan — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:03:17 +0000

the windscreen is the same. the heads up display is projected onto the windscreen.
