What do you think GM is going to tell us? I doubt anyone would say "It's useless and heavy and has to be included purely as a P.R. move"!
We know for a fact that it adds weight and complexity and perhaps you could find a tiny bit of fuel economy, but we can safely bet it will make modding more difficult and adds cost to the sticker price.
This technology may be fine for a sedan or something, but I don't know anyone with a Corvette who would ask for this. For the price this adds they could get a standard Full color HUD with Navigation, better interior plastics, or some feature they actually care about.
