    Awesome near-future car interface concept


    My dairy-based frozen confection creates a focal point to which young males of the species are drawn. You are correct: it is far superior to yours. I could attempt to educate you on the finer points of this subject, but it would require monetary recompense on your part.

    It's neat, but as a car enthusiast I still really like analog gauges.

    I don't want my car having a computer that does things that I would rather just do myself.

    True, I think it's a bit much for an everyday car. BUT as an idea, it's pretty interesting.

    Let's say anything with this installed wouldn't be a driver's car. Makers have understood that leaving an analog feeling is important to sell petrolheads their stuff.

    Also part of the reason why people spend thousands on tuning older cars. The feeling a car is not a separate machine, but an extension of yourself. Something highly emotional, felt very intensively is almost only experienced petrolheads.

    10 years is way too soon for that car. Look at 10 year old cars and new cars. More computers, but not nearly any drastic changes like you see here.

    It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!

    Maud: Not yet, still in the trunk. I used that plastic wrap to minimise forensics like you taught me.
    Mom: Good boy. Anyway, who'd you finish off this time?
    Maud: Steve.
    Mom: Not that Steve from down at the hardware store...
    Maud: No, not THAT Steve. You know, that cop Steve who's always taking our pot and smoking it himself.
    Mom: Well I'll be! You've sure got us in a pickle this time!
    Maud: I got his gun, cuffs and radio and threw them off the bridge on the way home. Fingers are removed but the teeth are still in there.
    Mom: Well that's a start, I guess. Now get out to that shed - there's work to be done! Here - take a cookie. I've made a little monkey face out of M&M's just the way you like it.
    Maud: Can I have a Dr. Pepper, too?
    Mom: Don't push it.

    Re: Awesome near-future car interface concept

    I can't wait for the day when auto-drive is enable and all one has to do is plug in a location and wait for their car to arrive (kinda like in iRobot-willsmith)
    Then I can just play a console game, watch a movie, or take a nap while en route to some place.
    Lazy? sure. (that being said I could even wear my forever lazy while driving
    Totally Awesome? Heck yes.

    ^ That'd be cool. We'd have fuggin magnets and sensors underground to let the car go through traffic for you, too.

    Re: Awesome near-future car interface concept

    One day I believe it'll happen. Probably not while i'm around though :/

    It would virtually reduce all car wrecks. But eventually nobody would know how to drive.

    Re: Awesome near-future car interface concept

    I would say it'd be a lot like being CPR certified. A lot of people who are certified don't really know how to do it, mostly because they'll probably never have to. But you still need the license to legally do it.
