Toyota is patenting AR glasses to replace traditional head-up displays (HUDs) in cars. These glasses enhance safety by improving visibility in all conditions.
They use electrochromic glass to adjust external light, cameras for eye tracking, and speakers to deliver crucial information to drivers. The glasses can also display media and phone notifications, with a built-in timer to maintain driver attention.
Passengers aren't left out – they can enjoy different media content. Although safety concerns exist, benefits for drivers and the potential to replace physical displays are strong selling points, mirroring similar developments by Chevrolet and BMW.
