It would seem ideal to have a mode where the display drops down to "out of windshield" field
of view & "into dashboard" FOV. An issue I suspect is focal adjustment if it needs to move
further away from your eye, being lower on your face at cheek level. I thought this was a
mode the M1 was designed for with the flexible mount. Yes,no,, Tony?

Clearly the full periphery of the drive zone should never be compromised, but the dash board
zone (with enough degrees of altitude below horizon) is an area where added info can easily
be available (as in automobilia for the past century), this would also serve well in walking
or biking in potential obstacle areas too.
