Land Rover's Transparent Bonnet

[ins1dious]

I think this is a very cool tech demo by LR. Its technically not a transparent hood so don't expect to see Bond's invisible car yet... but its damn functional using camera on the underside/front to project the terrain on the hood of the LR.

 

Blardy useful I say
