Phantom Car

This is cool. Microsoft are taking a new approach to in car navigation user interface with the Phantom car.

Instead of studying an on-screen map or listening to spoken instructions, the system lets a driver pursue a cartoon car projected onto the windscreen in front of them. The navigation system checks a car’s location and calculates a route in the usual way, but the driver follows the ghost car as if it were the leader of a convoy.

Simple. Clever.
