A company in NJ has come out with a new GPS system that uses the same concept as the HUD and projects a 3D route-guidance line above the road.

I guess its going to be expensive in a BMW but I wonder how would they install the asssembly (that contains the mirrors and the lenses) on top of the dashboard? My E60 has the HUD option so I guess they would probably just install the software and sync it with the current HUD?

nope, will never happen. Our current HUD supports nothing from the above.

That's not new for the car manufacturers. In fcat, BMW has their own concept.
Actually, nothing more is needed, than stuff that allready exists on our cars. ;-)
