Land Rover
has unveiled a new concept system that makes the hood of the car see
through so that the driver can see what is under the car and out of
their line of sight. The tech is called the Transparent Bonnet concept
and provides a full view of what is under and in front of the car, so
drivers can see hidden obstacles. Land Rover says that the transparent
bonnet system is part of a suite of concept tech being showcased in the
Discovery Vision Concept car at the New York International Motor Show. Land Rover uses cameras in the grille of the vehicle to capture video
data that is sent to a HUD to create a "see-through" view of the
terrain through the hood and engine bay of the car. The system also
allows the driver to see the angle and position of the wheels of the
vehicle. The tech involves a smart windscreen. It's unclear if the HUD is a
virtual system that uses a projector of some sort, or if the windscreen
of the concept has a built in video screen. (slashgear)
