通用让汽车驾驶变得更容易?

Its today's TechBytes, General Motors is looking to make driving safer and easier. The auto maker is developing technology that turns the entire windshield into a display to assist drivers in difficult conditions. The system relies on sensors and cameras inside and outside vehicles to pick up on things that driver might not see, for example, when it's foggy, the cameras can identify where the edge of the road is and display that information on the windshield. GM does not expect this technology to be in cars though for several more years.

It also maps out  the planets, the solar system and anything not on earth. Users can just pinpoint what they are looking for and fly right to it.
