I may be wrong? but it just doesn't look right.
Volvo has been testing a HUD for several years! they had a demo truck last year at GATS with it! The contrast you speak up does not do as you say, since the windshield is specially treated to display the HUD.

As far as the chips on the dash, they would not be in the way of the projector, as the one that I saw comes from the visor area!

Very cool. Welcome to the future of windshield navigation/weather/trip statistics (standard equipment say in 15-25 years).

More like 2 or 3 years! Buick had a heads-up back in the '80's (although limited, it was cool), Lexus and BMW have had them for a couple of years, and like stated earlier, Volvo may be closer than we think in releasing their version!
