The Volkswagen Group is ramping up the EV competition with its new augmented reality infused Cupra Born. The car's augmented reality heads-up display is being shown off and, if the final product is like the preview, then this will be an impressive demonstration of mobile AR. The Cupra Born uses a combination of cameras as well as radar and ultrasonic sensors to detect and show the driver vital information on its heads-up AR display.
Some of the information currently included in the AR system's array is the ability to detect and alert the driver of speed limits while displaying the speed limit on the car's windshield, thus avoiding even a slight bit of distracted driving that may occur by glancing down at a traditional car's dashboard-mounted speedometer. In addition to its Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control displays, the vehicle can also present directional arrows as well as final destination flags in AR.
