Google filed patent reveals Google Glass technology to be extended to to car windshields

Google patent for Google Glass and
optical car windshield / window
Last month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Google revealing Google's extension of Google Glass optical system technology further beyond their initial spectacle / wearable smart device. With this patent,Google clearly envisions their technology being extended through to car windshields.

What we find in this Google patent is that the tech giant clearly sees their optical system to be incorporated into car windshields. In more specific manner, as seen in the picture on the right, you can notice a car driver's view. Light pixels could be incorporated into the interactive car window. Further, the light source may be located away from the light pixels on the top side of the windshield. Critical information such as speed, battery levels, traffic information and GPS imaging can be displayed using an array of light pixels. Using the windhield / front window to display all this information would be far more safe, easier and efficient then the conventional ways.
