Abstract
An in-vehicle information system having a programmable multi-purpose display is described. The system receives and manages information from a variety of sources including both in-vehicle and off-vehicle applications. The system dynamically displays real-time information to a driver within the standard line-of-sight of the driver. The information is selectively displayed to the driver based on predefined trigging conditions. The system integrates disparate technologies a manner that does not degrade driving performance and safety.
