HUDWAY Drive: The heads-up display ( the Visual assistant) allows truck drivers to reduce visual distractions, which becomes a recurring issue in the truck accident cases.
Distracted driving is so dangerous when it involves a highly complex vehicle operation.

Common questions.
What is HUDWAY Drive?
HUDWAY Drive is a portable heads-up display (HUD) unit that operates as a windshield projector and uses Bluetooth to wirelessly bring information, notifications, or screen contents from the smartphone to the driver's line of sight. This is how the driver can view the information without lowering their eyes to their smartphone or instrument cluster.
How does it work?
HUDWAY Drive processes and visualises the information received from external sources — a smartphone, or a vehicle.
The unit is equipped with a Bluetooth receiver that allows for wireless connection with a smartphone or a vehicle*, and a projector that renders a full color virtual image, well visible day and night.
At the moment, the following smartphone data can be fetched to HUD:
— Name of the contact calling
— Played track title and artist name
— Notifications from 11 messengers (see full list of supported messengers here: https://hudway.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011885180-Enabling-notifications-from-messengers)
— GPS navigation in a simplified way.

How does it help prevent distracted driving?
Historically, windshield projectors have been made to display the information that is primarily important to driving while keeping them focused on the road.
It is important that the data is visualised in an easy-to-grasp way, so that it requires less time to be comprehended — even in HUD mode. Which is why HUD displays keep it very schematic and minimalist, with simple bold elements and contrasting basic colors.
HUDWAY Drive supplements the driver with the information that is essential to making correct choices: whether it's safe to change lines or overtake*, whether current speed exceeds the limit for this road segment**, or whether there are pedestrians crossing the road beyond the headlights reach***.
*Connecting side and rear view cameras to HUDWAY Drive allows for advanced blind spots control and is particularly helpful for young drivers.

**In the first versions of HUDWAY Drive app the speed limits can be set manually, while later on, there will be automatic updates for the speed limits database globally.
*** Pedestrians, animals, vehicles and other objects that emit heat are recognized and highlighted by a night vision camera. Such objects are rendered white against the neutral dark gray environment background. When driving in darkness, dark gray areas appear close to transparent while projected through the windshield, and the whiter objects become very well visible.

How it's different from HUDWAY Cast?
HUDWAY Drive is a more advanced version of portable HUD if compared to HUDWAY Cast. It addresses most of the issues the users of earlier HUDWAY devices faced, and we've been striving to make it truly a head-up display for everyday commute.
The key differences are:
— Improved connectivity:
HUDWAY Drive connects to the smartphone via regular Bluetooth, which is why you once you have paired the two once, every next time HUDWAY Drive will connect to your smartphone automaticaly, even when the latter stays in your pocket.
— Slimmer design:
HUDWAY Drive uses an extra slim and flexible mount which follows the curves of your dash and looks integral to the vehicle interior. And — it now fits in the vehicles where there's very little space between the dash and the windshield (like in some BMW models).
— Versatile mount:
HUDWAY Drive affixes to the mount using a maget lock, and the power cable plugs in the mount not n the the device, which is why it's now easier to take the device off and place it back. Additionally, we design custom mounts for a range of models even more native look on your dash. We're starting with custom mounts for Tesla Model 3, Ford F-150, and plan to add more shortly.
— Video input:
For those using additional cameras in their vehicles, HUDWAY Drive offers a video input port (CVBS). Here's how you can integrate a night vision camera or a rear view camera with the HUD device.
— Reliable software:
By default, HUDWAY Drive uses navigation and routes provided by MapBox. Alternatively, you can still use HUDWAY Go if you choose to.
On the whole, HUDWAY Drive is superior to HUDWAY Cast in terms of functionality, design and usability.

How is it different from other portable HUD solutions?
HUDWAY Drive is compatible with the vast majority of vehicles, applications, and smartphones. It doesn't limit the user to a proprietary navigation engine, or in any other way restricts the usage scenarios — instead, it allows bringing any app to HUD over screencasting.
A detailed overview of how it's different from HUD projectors released by Navdy, Carrobot, Garmin HUD, or Kivic HUD is coming soon.

Will it work without a smartphone?
No, HUDWAY Drive will not work without a smartphone.
It requires a smartphone running iOS 10 or later or Android 6 or later to operate. HUDWAY Drive has no bulit-in GPS chip, which is why all location data must come either from a connected smartphone, or from an OBD II Bluetooth scanner (available for purchase as an add-on).

Will it work in my car?
HUDWAY Drive needs to be mounted on the dash in front of driver's eyes otherwise the driver will be unable to see the projection.
Make sure there's enough space between the dash and windshield, and there is a cigarette lighter receptacle available to plug in the power cable.
