Heads-up displays, once reserved for fighter jets and vehicles in sci-fi movies, are quickly proliferating in common cars. I’ve now tested BMWs, Cadillacs, Mercedes-Benzes, Mazdas and more with information projected onto their windshields—and I have yet to experience a HUD I like.
HUD displays are an innovative concept, but they are unlikely to be used by referees, at least in the near future.
The entire VAR system requires a complete overhaul! Some referees are even hesitant to use pitchside monitors.
This could speed up VAR checks, which are currently taking too much time.
