I want to. There's a niche for something they can control and display content from apps (Deezer is my pet subject here) beyond the core pre-installed Apple (or Android) stuff, or call up navigation info by voice alone. It's not clear to me whether this is that thing, but it may be

One has something similar fitted as standard equipment in one's current car. Do Volvos not get that? Pity.

Other than HUD it's not doing anything my 6 year old Volvo doesn't.
Volvo even give me free map updates until 2025 which I can download and do at my convenience without a trip to the dealer's.

If it will let me play the music on my phone, stream iPlayer Radio or send Waze instructions through my car's stereo its for me. Otherwise no.

Nope. It has a version but too old to stream stuff. Pity, but at least it's mine......

Unless you're replacing your car (or having it replaced) every couple of years, a modular, upgradable interface makes more sense than anything built in. The hard part is integrating it neatly, but it means you don't have to make do with technology that will date much faster than the car itself.
Perhaps car makers can agree on a standard interface and power socket for things like this.

There is a standard, 15 feet of cable draped over the dash to the nearest cigarette lighter type socket.
Not pretty is it.

If I didn't already have most of that stuff I'd be all over the idea. If I were to replace a car such that it didn't have it built in, I'd be interested.
I like the HUD and I like the "add-ons in the future" idea, although no doubt I wouldn't like the price.
