Head-Up Display

For about half a century, jet fighter pilots have had head-up displays (projected on the windscreen or mounted in a helmet), so that critical information could be viewed without shifting their vision down toward an instrument panel.  A couple of decades later, similar systems began to appear in some commercial aircraft.  Then a few cars began to offer similar features (possibly as much to make them seem like jet planes as to make them safer to drive).

I don't have that kind of high tech feature in my car, but when I got in it today, this rainy afternoon, I was confronted with an artistic display that almost seemed to be projected on the windshield.  Before cranking the engine and running the wipers, I had to get out my iPhone to do this photo.  I think it would have been a misdemeanor, if not a felony moving violation, to drive off without the shot!
