This should be banned. Really. I don't want this on the same road as my loved ones. When you are driving, you are driving. Not reading/tweeting.

Even more, mounting "something" to the front window is illegal in a lot of places in the world [1]. At least Netherlands and U.S. In The Netherlands operating a phone while driving (voice operated carkit exempt) gives you a ~$250 fine.

Furthermore, obstructing part of your window is dangerous. You could miss something. And it's distracting (our eyes focus on motion).

What a idiotic idea.

Sadly you're wrong. Holding a phone is illegal, operating it while in a car kit is officially nog prohibited.

>Artikel 61a

Het is degene die een motorvoertuig, bromfiets, snorfiets of gehandicaptenvoertuig dat is uitgerust met een motor bestuurt verboden tijdens het rijden een mobiele telefoon vast te houden.

Actually, it's not only legal in California, the state recently banned devices that get stuck to the windshield and mandates that such devices need to be placed and secured on the dashboard.

Obviously, the law doesn't say anything about HUDs, and it will probably take a few years for legislation to catch up with technology in that area.

There is nothing mounted to the window. The device sits on the dashboard.
