Does one really need to take their eyes off the road all that much? What is the need to constantly keep looking at the speedometer, tach or gas gauge? I can drive my car all day long without having to look at the speedometer at all and I still know almost exactly how fast I am going. One glance at my gas guage tells me all I need to know. One doesn't have to have done much driving at all, especially in a particular vehicle, to be able to quite accurately judge speed. I can tell by how my engine sounds coupled with how fast the scenery is going by. I don't need some computerized speedometer to tell me the difference between 35 and 45 mph or between 60 and 75 mph. Heads-up displays still take your eyes off the road in that your point of focus becomes the windshield, not the roadway beyond, and at night can be a real distraction.
