Oh man... a display screen in my view while I'm riding is not in my future. When I was 20 I looked in my rear view mirror too long and rear ended a car that was stopped unexpectedly at a green light because of an ambulance crossing the road. The Toyota was totaled. I had a crash bar on my Kaw H2, and that took almost all the impact. The bike needed new fork tubes and some tank and fender bodywork. The Toyota's rear doors wouldn't close when I got through with it. I spent most of the day in the hospital while they investigated the blood in my urine, and I still have a dent in my left hip.

I keep my cell phone in my jacket pocket and stop when I want to look at CoPilot, or anything else on its display. I also don't want to get a computer making decisions for me, for the reasons @InvisiBill noted.

Adaptive cruise control might be good for long highway trips in a car. I'll have to think about that.
