Lay your iPhone flat on the dashboard and Windshield HUD reflects your speed, the speed limit, the next turn and your lane onto the windshield, so your eyes stay on the road. Apple Maps directions, speed limits and camera alerts from OpenStreetMap, LED-style digits, and a demo drive to try it anywhere. Tip: a $5 HUD reflective film makes it bright even in daylight.

Could you build this?
Partial The iOS UI, mirrored display, and map directions are doable, but reliable lane detection and camera or speed-limit data quality need specialized mapping and sensor work.
What it would actually take: The app would use iOS MapKit and CoreLocation for routing and speed, render mirrored LED-style digits in SwiftUI, and pull speed limits and camera alerts from OpenStreetMap. The hard parts are accurate lane identification (GPS alone is insufficient, so it needs map lane-level data or camera-based vision) and up-to-date, legally reliable speed-camera data. This requires geospatial data engineering and possibly computer vision expertise.
