Speak for yourself. At 72 I'm still ****ed I don't have a flying car.



Given that the aero-car concept vehicles were being invented, developed and flown when you were a kid, you haven't exactly disproved DA's assertion :-).



T8

Those were "road capable airplanes" not flying cars like Jetsons.

Back to the OP subject. HMD's are a solution, not a problem. Good ones will display only the information the pilot needs and only when they need it while keeping eyes out of the cockpit. An advantage for aging eyes in that information will be seen at infinity focus not 2 feet in front of the pilot like steam gauges. Collision risks hidden behind aircraft structure will also be visible.
