Fucked up streets for arts sake!
Cold winter seasons harm serious damage to the streets every year. As the streets age, their conditions get worse rapidly. Deep cracks draw through the pavement, and cause deep wholes. The artists from http://www.mypotholes.com made me grin. With a different point of view, they transform damaged streets into charming, artsy scenes. The city is a playground and…

Riding in city traffic is often scary and not comfortable unless you have eyes in the back of your head. That tool gives you the opportunity to look back without turning you hear all the time.

Adding sounds to cars for safety reasons.
Electric cars are quiet. That is one of the good features and it is perhaps the reason to buy one. It is also a danger to pedestrians if these super fast, nearly quiet vehicles came around. Especially for those which don’t expect that and blind people. The discussion in the US and in the UN…

Lars Thomsen can “predict” the future. He is one of the futurist and gives a small view into his world. (in German) He shows some comparison to what NOKIA happened, when Apple released the iPhone. Is the auto industry at a similar point? Battery prices will fall, he says, and public charging infrastructure will continue…

Estimates of electric-vehicle battery costs (first published in Tech Review, Jan 2012 issue) The industry hotly debates how much and fast the costs will fall. In 2020 it should be about half what they were in 2011, when the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt launched.
