It's a good (but wrong) analogy to compare to the "head-up" display on airplanes. However, driving is a 2D experience compared to flying. Pilot would need to pay attention to the surrounding in the 3D world where as driving, pretty much is just in a flat surface (you pay attention to your front, behind, left, right, that's it). I just cannot see the benefit of the HUD display in road driving use. There is no "head-up" necessary in this driving use case.

There's no necessity to keep your eyes on the road and still have that information available to you?

It's not about 3D, it's about never having to look down at a dashboard instead of the real world.
