Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have released a dashboard that lets users track the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. The data is overlaid on a map of the world showing reported locations of infection and fatalities.

In a similar way to head-up-displays like the Garmin HUD, the upcoming Carloudy sits on a car dash and throws navigation prompts onto the windscreen. But thanks to a display technology that sips at the battery, its designers are promising weeks of usage without needing to hit the charger.

The rise of in-car infotainment systems has seen electronic displays vying with traditional instrumentation for dashboard space and driver attention. Audi's solution that will be featured in its new TT is to combine the old with the new in its "virtual cockpit."

At CES this week, GPS giant Garmin has added a new HD camera to its growing line. The Dash Cam mounts to any car's windshield, taking footage of the drive and acting as a data recorder in the event of a collision or other incident.

December 30, 2008 One of the highlights of CES will be the fully-featured ENV car computer from start-up Dashboard Devices. The US$2,700 in-dash double-DIN ENV runs a 7" touchscreen monitor, Windows XP with an automotive interface, has a 160GB drive and offers full computer functionality. It’ll resp
