From the outside it looks just like any other oversized SUV/4WD kind of car, but once you are in the driver seat, you will find features, that I have never seen in any other car.
The car is a cooperation between a Taiwan car company LUXGEN and HTC - known from their mobile phones - and is completely integrated.
The car has 2 monitors, 1 for the backseat passengers mostly used for TV (yes!) and DVD naturally. These functions are also found in the monitor for the driver, but the same screen has many other options.
Naturally there is a complete menu system to setup the car features and a build in telephone reception and GIS application for finding your way in Taiwan. All this is also seen in other high end cars aroiund the world.
What really makes it special is the 8 (eight) cameraes that are placed outside the car which feeds the computer of the car and present options on this monitor. Let me try to list them all down.
Nightvision, which actually let you display the road ahead better on the screen than in reality. You should naturally look out the window, but I am the co driver, and I have compared the 2 ways when driving outside the city, in complete darkness, and the screen shows better what is ahead.
Sideview, whenever you signal left or right, the display will show what is on your left or right side - no dead angles that potentially will kill motor cysclists or bump into smaller cars passing you.
Backview, when parking gives you a full view of what is behind you and imaginary lines shows where you will end up with the current setting of the wheels. This makes it much easier to park, especially in narrow places, where you need to go all the way back, before you go forward in order to get in or out.
Eagleview which gives you a full interpretation of the full 360 degree of the car. Where am I is available to you, without leaving the car.
And as if this is not enough, my brother has installed additional 4 cameraes in the car, which record everything that goes on around the car. These cameraes record constantly to a SD card, and can be used to sort out what really happened during an accident, so you do not end up paying for somebody elses mistake.
This car is better than the BATMOBILE...

Maybe you should buy one in Singgpore. and when you back to Denmark, bring this guy to show your neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe after 3 years later, you can see the upgrade version racing in Europa, haha.
I would buy this model in a heartbeat, but I think it is only available in Taiwan as of yet. I support their innovation, must be wonderfull to work for such company...
