You mean a HUD projected on the windshield itself? That's not my experience with it at all; I don't have to "look at" it, when my eyes are focused on the road in front of me, the HUD is sharp enough and positioned so that I always know my speed etc. without having to actively look for it.

Your car might have settings to adjust it somehow, have you tried those?

Same. In fact it is significantly better and less distracting than having to glance at the dashboard. Owning a car with a HUD, I definitely miss it in other cars.

I recently hired a car where I had to duck under the steering wheel to check my speed!

Next time adjust steering wheel position so it doesn’t obstruct

That is sometimes hard to achieve depending on the car and your height.

		To be fair, I didn't even try.

Not necessarily disagreeing, but I'm not sure automotive HUD technically qualifies as one.

Airplane HUDs occupy center of the vision, literally showing where you're going. Car HUDs don't, and instead stay out of sight, as it's illegal to do in cars what they do in planes. That makes car HUDs just heads down display that happens to be transparent.

		Well for cars, you do need to be on the active lookout for pedestrians, other cars, etc, but for planes generally you are mostly looking at instruments. You only really look outside if you expect something is coming, and the HUD isn't really a distraction there.
