Each year approximately 30,000 people are killed in the U.S. in motor vehicle crashes. Often crashes occur because the driver cannot see the hazard in time, especially when the hazard is obscured (a braking vehicle in front of the lead vehicle, a crossing vehicle running a red light, etc.). Currently such technology is quite expensive, which has led to lower levels of adoption. Indeed, the field of augmented reality for cars is looking for an 'application' that will have broad basis of appeal and deep impact. Crash avoidance could be such an application that gets more users interested in adopting this hardware, which then provides the basis for other applications to be developed and adopted.Research is being conducted to determine how Augmented Reality (AR), implemented as a large field of view head-up display, can be used to present warnings. Concepts include arrows showing where drivers should look and graphics to highlight at what drivers should look. Implementation requires a full-windshield Head-Up-Display (HUD) to show the graphics, communications technology to connect vehicles, and validated user interface concepts. These elements are to be combined in a product, one that could substantially reduce motor vehicle crashes. The team has developed and tested a proof-of-concept prototype of the augmented reality interface in a driving simulator. That interface consists of some means to highlight a hazard, such as an underline or a surrounding box. However, when the hazard in not in front of the driver or not visible, an arrow appears in front of them directing them where to look, either to the left or right.

美国每年约有 30,000 人死于机动车事故。 碰撞事故的发生常常是因为驾驶员无法及时看到危险，特别是当危险被遮挡时（领头车辆前方制动车辆、横穿车辆闯红灯等）。 目前此类技术相当昂贵，导致采用率较低。 事实上，汽车增强现实领域正在寻找一种具有广泛吸引力和深远影响的“应用程序”。 碰撞避免可能是这样一种应用程序，它可以让更多用户有兴趣采用该硬件，从而为其他应用程序的开发和采用提供基础。目前正在进行研究，以确定如何使用增强现实（AR）（作为大视场平视显示器实现）来显示警告。 概念包括显示驾驶员应看向的箭头和突出显示驾驶员应看向的图形。 实施需要全挡风玻璃平视显示器 (HUD) 来显示图形、连接车辆的通信技术以及经过验证的用户界面概念。 这些元素将被组合到一种产品中，该产品可以大大减少机动车辆碰撞事故。该团队在驾驶模拟器中开发并测试了增强现实界面的概念验证原型。 该界面包含一些突出显示危险的方法，例如下划线或周围的框。 然而，当危险不在驾驶员面前或不可见时，他们面前会出现一个箭头，引导他们向左或向右看。
