I know in my last couple cars that I’ve had one it was more distracting than anything else.

What is the definition of heads up display? Because if it counts phone mounts to be used as a heads up display for GPS, I'd argue that definition is flawed on the basis that people look at their phone longer than they should have. The way it is is a map and you on that map. I'd also argue that displaying the map is way too much information overload while driving which is probably why people get into accidents anyways. Tryinf to compute their geographical location and pay attention to the road is way too complex.
But even then, I think that the HUD and HUS is better just because it's limited to certain information you would need to know anyways to drive like a reasonable person. Speed, cruise control information, and time to destination or GPS compass direction.
