Is Tesla working on augmented reality for drivers? Fresh rumours emerge after Elon Musk recruits his SECOND Hololens designer from Microsoft.

Tesla may be leading the charge for driverless cars, but it may also be looking to add augmented reality (AR) to the mix. The technology, which superimposes information onto real-time views of the users’ surrounding, could help make Tesla cars far more minimalist.
By merging AR with Tesla’s on board computers, drivers could potentially see the car’s displays and even hazard information projected onto the windscreen. Tesla’s AR rumours have been bolstered by the recruitment a former designer who has worked on Microsoft’s Hololens.
