The thinking car's car

Posted by Steve Orme on June 25, 2007 4:07 PM | 

IF you reckon the concept of an electric Mini Cooper is as mad as tinned cheese what about one with wheels that can think?
Although the driver remains in charge behind the wheel this new system allows the car to learn about roads.It will read bends, hazards and eventually recognise Lycra in combination with a bicycle saddle and launch a drone attack aircraft to deal with the problem. Actually I made that last bit up.
Interestingly it will do 150mph with the aid of four wheel mounted motors. That’s one hell of a speed to be flying around in silence.
Hopefully it will also understand that when it sees a pothole none of its road tax will ever be spent repairing the surface.
