But this new one is a 26-inch virtual display that projects the images a little over 2 yards in front of the driver, which improves visibility. Current HUD’s usually only display images on a small area of the windshield. And here’s a new one from the Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taiwan that just caught our eye. Most of these devices are only offered on a certain number of new vehicles but aftermarket versions are available. Head up displays are a safe way to keep you informed while driving because you don’t have to take your eyes as far off the road. And depending on how this goes, Toyota will test these services in Japan next. And it will test a new service that will allow owners who decide to share their car, the opportunity to use the money they make to pay off their lease.
The company will test out these new devices, with car sharing company Getaround, with a pilot program in San Francisco next January. And to make car sharing more convenient, it’s developed a Smart Key Box, to allow keyless entry with a smartphone. The company announced it will develop a Mobility Services Platform to support partnerships with mobility partners by leveraging its big data. And now Toyota is strengthening its position in that new market. That’s why we’re seeing so much activity in this field. This is Autoline Daily the show for enthusiasts of the automotive industry.Īutomakers think that mobility services could represent a whole new business for them to get into. All that and more coming right up on Autoline Daily. On today’s show… Hyundai hints it will produce a portfolio of performance cars, Toyota dips its toes into mobility services and we’ll take a look at some wild SEMA concepts from Chevy and FCA.
