A company is working on a holographic HUD that fits within a rear-view or wing mirror.

dumb. I just wish people would learn how to drive. Last thing they need is for someone not looking ahead because they are reading a message in thier side mirror.

I don't get it, what is this for? so driver needs to look then read what's in the mirror? that's going to cause crashes.

Mirror is just for quick checks, not reading or analysis.

You dont need rear view mirrors, just use cameras

You don't have to write information, ever heard of visual information.

If when you look to the rear view mirror see a red halo (e.g.) around an aproaching car this will informe you quicker and better than regular mirror...

that's my "view" of this subject

+1. And this should also eliminate the need to turn around to check the blind spot assuming they integrate it with a radar type system.

So long as the mirrors are still usable if the system crashes or something, I'll take it

Add a HUD to my car and I will start running over people to rack up the points. I need to quit GTA.

Cars don't kill people. Viruses messing up your windshield kills people.

This sounds promising.
I hope patents/licensing etc. all that good bullshit don't hamper it.

OFF TOPIC
Rear mirrors in most cars suck big time!
I have mounted an addon mirror (used by many taxi drivers - they know better) on top of the factory one that greatly reduces the right blind spot. Before camera mirrors become widely available I suggest you buy one.

Sounds a bit pointless. Much like this comment.

I want a motorcycle helmet that has HUD. Don't have to look down while you ram into the back of a truck.

Kewl hopefully this will mean HUDs will be in more affordable models.

I'll stick with my regular mirrors tho, much less likely to fail than a camera and if you move your head you can get more field of view out of em than a camera. Remember, not everything has to be high tech to be effective.
