Now comes word that a concept car from Daihatsu is showcasing hologram technology in displaying data from its dashboard gauges. Although the gauges appear two dimensional, information and warnings from them appear in 3-D holographics.

Sounds cool! But some people caution that it could be a distraction for the driver. What the heck, there’s so many distractions for the driver now with warning lights and tones and female voices and such coming on when the new safety technologies are engaged. What’s one more distraction going to do? It’s just something else we’re all going to get used to. Besides, it still is really cool!!
