Toys For Transportation Techies…
Cars and Gadgets.
Car owners expect cool gadgets in their cars just like Dolphins fans expect losses.
Here’s some of the coolest car gadgets of 2007:
- Volvo Blind Spot Information System | Leave it to Volvo - two tiny cameras & little orange light tell you if its OK to change lanes.
- Sync Hands-Free System | Ford’s solution to fiddling with portable music players while driving: simple voice commands allow you to play your music.
- Sirius Satellite TV | Chrysler lets the kids make the buying decisions by offering the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network available. I wish I was 9 again.
- Easy Third-Row Access | Folding your seats down manually is so 2006.
- Heartbeat Sensor | Great idea for older drivers and/or Ferrari owners.
- Integrated Booster Seats | No more booster seats needed to trash your leather interior; leave that to your kids.
- Full-Size Hybrid SUVs/Trucks | Now people who feel the need to drive around in 6500 pounds of eco-friendly steel won’t get harassed from people who drive around in 2500 pounds of eco-friendly steel.
- Around View Monitor | This is a neat gadget from Infinity: A 360-degree camera-eye view for tight parking spots and navigating crowded areas. Which begs the questions, why are you trying to squeeze into tight, hard to see spots in an Infinity EX35??
- Scratch Shield Paint | Infinity’s super elastic resin with a clearcoat finish claims to protect from minor scratches, dents and even fingernail scratches under the door handles. (Save some money - get your wife a manicure and get the Satellite TV)
- Lane Departure Prevention | Another top tech toy from Infinity keeps you safely in your lane by detecting lane markings, applying brakes when needed and providing dashboard alerts.
Still no word on the Nagging-Wife Silencer or the Friend Who-Always-Needs-A-Ride Ejector…there’s always next year.
