Re:Enough AI Copilots, We Need AI HUDs

This whole Copilot vs HUD debate instantly brought to mind a classic Japanese anime from 1991 called Future GPX Cyber Formula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_GPX_Cyber_Formula). Yeah, it’s a racing anime set in the then-distant future of 2015, where cars come with full-on intelligent AIs.
The main character’s car, Asurada, is basically a "Copilot" in every sense. It was designed by his dad to be more than just a tool, more like a partner that learns, adapts, and grows with the driver. Think emotional support plus tactical analysis with a synthetic voice.
Later in the series, his rival shows up driving a car that feels very much like a HUD concept. It's all about cold data, raw feedback, and zero bonding. Total opposite philosophy.
What’s wild is how accurately it captures the trade-offs we’re still talking about in 2025. If you’re into human-AI interaction or just want to see some shockingly ahead-of-its-time design thinking wrapped in early '90s cyber aesthetics, it’s absolutely worth a watch.

Focusing on building robot for reader instead of news provider would be the future.

Ask HN: Is there any VCS/platform for hardware and software development?
There are many types of fundamental VCS tools for software development. Those have become keystone in the history of open source software, large-scale projects (Linux...).But what if we consider hardware development? It seems hard to document all materials and machine setting (other than circuit scheme) into data. Although wiki-like platform helped several large projects, such as RepRap, we...
