there are regulations about what a driver can and can't be shown whilst driving, they start from state/regional level all the way up to the UN and by and large companies (even GAFAM) do obey them, or else the vehicle will be outright prohibited from the roads in many countries and that results in reputation damage and potential lawsuits
(this is why many apps don't work with Android Auto / Apple Carplay, the tech companies do seem to obey (even begrudgingly) whatever traffic authorities insist on

@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net @benroyce@mastodon.social @geomannie@mastodon.scot a HUD isn't that uncommon and has been a thing in some vehicles for about 20 years, my sisters 2005 Toyota Yaris had one, and you can buy aftermarket ones for your car if you wish. I would hope that NHTSA would stomp on any attempt to use HUDs to send ads to folk whilst they were driving (and can't think of any other country in the World that would permit such a thing)
