While the market waits, increasingly impatiently, for cars equipped
with a full "glass cockpit", BorgCo are offering as a fix to existing
vehicles the new sunvisor tablet.
Basically a modified high-end Android tablet fitted into a sun visor
frame.
Remove exisitng sunvisor, detach wiring.
Attach wiring to new unit.
Re-fix using existing mount points.
When hinged up, does nothing.
When hinged down, provides a touchscreen interface, semi-HUD,
navigation functions.
Has a high quality VIS/IR camera in the back; when hinged down,
provides pseudo night-vision capabilities with peak white inversion.
Available in left and right hand versions for driver and passenger. Fit
one side or both, according to taste and budget.
Add-on modules using wifi or bluetooth allow interfacing to other
vehicle systems.
Can also be hinged down and switched off, in which case it acts as a
sun-visor.

I think this falls under the category of "I might want one,
but I don't want anybody else to have one." |

The outward facing side could have a solar charging
system. |

Just don't use an iPad. Apple's tendency to design things with sharp corners won't meet the minimum radius requirements for interior vehicle surfaces falling within potential head collision space. |

In the USA there are about 40,000 automobile occupant
fatalities per year, but only about 4,000 pedestrian
fatalities. Wouldn't this be a good way to weed out the
gene pool? |
