... which is why the HUD (for velocity, navigation) in my 6 years old BMW is my favourite feature. I don't understand why so few manufacturers offer one.

Are there studies that show that a HUD is better than a dashboard display for velocity and navigation?

I can see that a HUD for showing animals detected by infrared is something you can't show on a dashboard.

Augmented reality would be a little tricky as you have to eye tracking too (to detect the correct alignment of objects).
