Eye Candy, Smart Dashboards, Two Seaters - January 24th, 2008
In the eye candy department, visit AutoblogGreen’s post Detroit 2008: More photos than you can shake a stick at, to take your own tour of the Detroit Auto Show. (Haven’t had enough, search for “Detroit auto show” on flickr and you’ll get 22,524 pictures past and present. Don’t believe me? Click here.)
Smart Dashboard
As if our cars don’t talk to us enough already, it looks like the Technical University of Berlin is working on an intelligent dashboard that will start switching stuff off in the event of driver distratction. Few details, but you can read the original post over at Engadget.
Trev from Australia
Via Engadget (via Treehugger) we have a few details on a two-seater electric from Down Under, a project of the University of South Australia. Technically this is in the same genre as the tilting vehicles we wrote about a few days back, as the driver and passenger sit one behind the other. Beyond that the Trev has a much more car-like appearance, with a cool wrap-around windshield. Runs at a top speed of 75 mph and does zero to 60 in 10 seconds. (Here’s Autoblog Green’s take on the same story.)
