Vista BMWJetfighter tech in your BMW
p>We are talking about heads-up displays (HUDs), of course. Without this relatively new technology, those expensive birds and precious pilots put themselves at risk. BMW was the first European automaker to incorporate heads-up technology in their vehicles. Since 2004, this incredible tech has graced the windshields and been an integral part of BMW ConnectedDrive in the BMW 5 Series and 7 Series. It has since been developed and refined for precision and aesthetic and is available for almost the entire BMW line.
A normal driver without a HUD takes a full second to check his speed or other status. That is a full second of eyes off the road this translates to several dozen feet of roadway travelled literally "blind". Incorporation of a HUD reduces this distraction by more than half, meaning the driver's eyes manage to stay where they need to be - on the road ahead. The virtual image is perceived as hovering at eye level on the hood and can only be seen by the driver.
BMW recently invited a EuroFighter pilot to have a seat in their machine and critique the BMW HUD. The pilot was impressed overall, stating "our monochrome head-up display in the cockpit is unable to offer such a brilliant display quality". Looks like BMW should share some of its technology with the world's air cadets! If you are interested in the BMW HUD or our line of BMW vehicles, visit our Ft.
