The Navdy experience:

It is pretty cool that a device can project the contents of a moiled device right in front of a driving wheel.  The demo video posted in the site is really cool. 
Below are few notes on this: 

- It works on android and iPhone devices:
It extends the apps that are available on the phone. No service plans required. Wondering how it extends the already existing apps 

- Touchless Gestures 
User can use the gestures to control the behaviour. Such as swipe left to cancel the call, Or dismiss a notification. 

- Voice Recognition 
The device also supports voice recognition as it is described, the commands are similar to the one used in Google now or Siri such as “compose new tweet”, “call “mom” etc. 

- Notifications 
Any notifications on the phone (text, social etc) can be displayed, read aloud or disabled entirely. User can decide what and when to appear. There are even parental controls to keep the teens safe. 

Split Windows 
- Navigation doesn’t disappear when the call comes in. It split the current window and shows navigation and the call together. 

Works with any music app

The technical specs of the device had few interesting items below 

- IR camera for touch less gesture control 
- Accelerometer, e-compass, ambient light sensor
- WiFi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.0/LE

- Dual core processor running on Android 4.4
