Their 2nd big picture on the site shows it (with some artistic license): https://www.navdy.com/assets/bg_2-6d1e2edf72162edc92d6955512... Another one here: https://www.navdy.com/assets/directions-491e1e1af7ef47c676ab...
I meant, where can you rent a car with hud display like this, or I didn't understand what you were trying to say :)

It's warranted for navigation, or possibly things like virtual mirrors. I wouldn't want to see text messages. Why not just use audio if it's so damned important to get the text?
My Moto X actually attempts to figure out if you're driving, and it is capable of reading texts aloud and it even allows for reply-by-voice. My jaw hit the floor the first time it went off. My jaw also hit the floor when it read a rather private message while I was a _passenger_ in someone else's car.
Example:
(Phone): New text message from John Smith. Would you like to hear it? (You): Yes. (Phone): "Bla bla text message contents here"
Using a HUD to read/write texts/tweets? It seems like the creators missed all the studies about the dangers of distracted driving. And pilots use HUD's so this must be safe? That would potentially hold water, if the pilots were using huds to tweet, text, and select music while landing... instead they're using huds to display important information... I like the technology, I just don't like the suggested use cases for…
Precisely. I've long wanted to build a HUD that could project on all the glass surfaces of my car. If I were building a HUD, it should be giving me a "heads up." The windshield would have navigational aids, but any surface in the car could be used to display hazards! I want my car to identify if a pedestrian is present (highlighted in yellow) or if they appear to be crossing my heading (highlighted in red.) I want my…

Yet I am a still a gear head at heart and having the option to see engine temperature, oil pressure (provided its a real reading), fuel, and such, would be nice I do not need it in my field of view. Perhaps the items I want to really know can be designated to pop up when I stop.
So, nav dream state.
default, speed and limit. Navigation if I am following a route Ability to designate selected other values to display all the time, at stop, when near threshold.

Yup! He's the guy behind Sandwich Video, which makes a ton of ads for startups: http://sandwichvideo.com/
Mmm.. his terrible facial hair made me think it was an amature video. Hilarious that people are paying the guy money to put himself in their product videos and he doesn't even tidy his beard up.

The very first image at the top of the page just sends chills down my spine. "Check out this rad video!" while I'm about to drive past a row of parked cars in a busy urban area. How about "No?" Is "No" supported?
To be honest this is sort of how I felt when I got my first iPhone. I was downtown in a very busy urban center that I absolutely hate navigating. I was so happy to have an iPhone that was aiding me through the maze of one-way streets; for once I wouldn't be late for my rendezvous. Just then: the person I was picking up decided to call me. iOS decided that a phone call was more important than driving, so it displayed…
The guy in the video is the same guy from the Coin concept videos...
But it looks bulky and the display is a bit low and meagre. I don't think we should be encouraging people to read/compose tweets or texts while driving. Take a call or get directions or show my speed and the limits, sure, but tweets can surely wait.

It doesn't just blurt the message out, it tells you who it's from and asks if you want to hear it. At least that's how my Moto X works. Example: (Phone): New text message from John Smith. Would you like to hear it? (You): Yes. (Phone): "Bla bla text message contents here"
(Your Spouse): Yes.
