LN your avatar is AWESOME!!

It would be cool if they built the kids seat technology for the 2 front seats!


Spouse arguing with you for no reason? Just press the button, the door opens and their seat turns to let them get the hell out of your car!

In a similar vein, the HMI Golf (Human Machine Interface) is packed with gizmos aimed at forging a closer relationship between you and your car. Using forward-facing video cameras to assess the conditions, the HMI car can communicate with the driver by feeding a slight tremor through the steering wheel or brake pedal to warn of hazards which the car's spotted but you may not have.


I thought that was realy crazy
