This isnt for the driver of the projecting vehicle, it is for everyone else around them.

And as many wrecks I have seen involving idiots invading safe stopping distances, this is a good idea, if they could make it work well in daytime.

Yeah a block of light in front of the car which overlaps with the lane merge projection from grandpa who left his blinker on conflicting with someone's navigation projection who needs to be in the right lane yesterday conflicting with someone's broken projection for pedestrians on a stroad sounds like a fucking hellscape.

People can't use blinkers correctly or keep their headlights and tailights in working order. I'm sure expensive light projections that link with software and a onboard computer that was out of date the day it was made is going to work splendidly.

>involving idiots invading safe stopping distances

What makes you think this will stop them?

Do you really think those idiots will pay even the slightest bit of attention to that stuff?

Personally, this looks like it will just add additional visual pollution to an already visually polluted landscape.
