Corvettes have this like people have mentioned, but they use a different kind of windshield glass with a more reflective panel in that section. I found that out when a rock chipped the hell out of the windshield of my 2006 Corvette Z06 and I had to get it replaced. I wouldn't imagine that this device would be as effective as the one that uses a special windshield glass, but good enough and certainly a lot cheaper.
To the people who think HUD is dumb - you've obviously never driven with it. Try going fast and looking down to use your tachometer when you shift and then tell me it's dumb.
@navyasw02 Still works w/ regular glass, you just have to turn the brightness up. If this has sufficient brightness, should be fine I would think.
You would think it would be easy to just have a clear coating applied to the area it would shine on though, just like you apply tint to your side windows. *shrugs*
