ask any driver and he will tell you having a 15cm x 8cm (120 cm2) screen mounted near the A-pillar is going to obstruct his vision and be a driving hazard. how disingenuous is Amy Khor trying to be in saying the units are almost the same size. the exisiting IUs only block up 8cm x 3cm (24 cm2) of screen space, 5 times less than the new OBU.
shit for brains all round in the team that led the redesign of the OBU. Amateur hour at the LTA. No wonder the last transport minister stepped down.

In what was described as a "show-and-tell" by an MP, Dr Khor held up a model of today's in-vehicle unit (IU) and the new OBU to show that the new unit is only marginally bigger.
The OBU display unit is 15cm x 8cm x 2cm, while the IU is 12cm x 8cm x 3cm.
There remain concerns, however, that the way the units are mounted on the windscreen could affect drivers' visibility.
