I've got one of those hybrid laptops with both intel and Nvidia gpus in it. When the settings are screwed up and it forgets to switch to the Nvidia card, even simple games like league of legends run jerky and more modern stuff becomes completely unplayable unless you completely neuter the settings and resolution.

Wrong. If everyone went 90mph it would be far safer than having one guy going 65 and another going 90 on the same road. The point of speed limits is to get everyone going as close as possible to the same speed, then their speed relative to each other is miniscule causing interactions to happen more slowly and less frequenty.

In reality, it will rarely be used as a HUD. We all know with a fair degree of certainty it will be used for things like email, video, texting, etc... Sure it may have the possibility of being useful, but that is NOT what it will be used for. Just like most cellphones in cars aren't being used for GPS and traffic allerts. People these days are just too distracted while they drive. Most people barely have enough intelligence to safely pilot a vehicle to begin with. Cellphones have made things much worse. Having things distractions constantly put into your line of sight will be ever worse. While people do have rights, on the road you holding the lives of others in the balance so some of your personal freedom takes a back seat. As a motorcyclist, I think texting while driving should get you a DUI and be pursed just as heavily.

There is an android app called simply "Assistant". You can have it shake to activate, then simply tell it what to do. It will also read incoming texts to you. You can say "send text to john smith, meet me at work" , it repeats it back to you "sending text to john smith, meet me at work, is this correct?" if you say yes it sends it.
