Add full-colour heads-up display (like Lexus LC 500)

BMW = yes
Mercedes = yes

This is a feature only the driver will see. In the Lexus the heads-up display (HUD) projects a range of essential navigation, safety and performance info directly on to the windshield in front of the driver — it almost looks like a hologram on your bonnet.

Figure: It would be nice to see it in the Tesla.

Introduce advanced front-lighting technologies to make driving at night safer

BMW = yes (7 series only)
Mercedes = yes (S class only)

Ford is developing a couple of advanced front-lighting technologies to prevent collision and keep drivers safe at night:

  1. The first one called “camera-based advanced front lighting system” interprets traffic signs and use GPS info to widen the headlights’ reach at roundabouts
  2. The second technology called “Spot Lighting” uses an infrared camera attached to the vehicle’s grille to detect people and large animals on the road through their body heat

Watch Ford’s video to see how it works

Tesla should consider adding these to their cars.

Ideally, the driver needs see yellow and red squares flashing up on the heads-up display.

Note: With a software update Tesla could do this if it went in the console
