Too Afraid to Ask

A head‑up display shows important car data, like speed or directions, right on the windshield so you don’t have to look down at a dashboard screen.

Technical Definition

A head‑up display (HUD) projects key information—such as speed, navigation prompts, or warning alerts—directly onto the windshield in the driver’s line of sight. This lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while staying informed.
