Automotive technology has come leaps and bounds over the years, essentially transforming a vehicle into a gadget on wheels. As a result, we have witnessed the advent of many new features in the last few years, especially in cars. Head-Up Display (HUD) is one such feature which has found place in many mass-market cars in recent times.
An HUD is an advanced driver-assistance system that projects essential information directly onto the windshield in the driver’s line of sight. This technology was originally developed for military aviation and has since been integrated into modern vehicles to provide real-time data such as speed, navigation instructions, and engine RPM.
By displaying information transparently, a HUD minimizes the need for drivers to glance away from the road, thereby enhancing situational awareness and safety. Here are seven most affordable cars in the market that come equipped with HUD.
