At least part of the front windshield transmissive member is fixedly connected to the front frame, and at least part of the display device is sandwiched between the console and the front windshield transmissive member.
The description in the patent explains that most vehicles have instrument panels set up in front of the steering wheel. It requires the driver to look down to see the vehicle information.
