Would You Adopt an In-Car Robot?
If you're like me and fall in love with hot and geeky cars that are beyond your budget, this little robotic passenger may be just what you need. Called AIDA, this in-car robot is like your constant co-pilot, telling you real-time weather and driving conditions, suggesting alternatives from your well-driven routes if there's a problem, alerts you to tourist attractions, and helps you conserve gas by notifying you when you're cruising at optimal fuel efficiency.
All of these features are possible because AIDA analyzes and then recognizes your driving behavior, routes, and habits, then uses them to your advantage.
Guess Who?
Guess which car maker debuted their new 170mpg hybrid at a recent auto show?
Is the Lexus HS Hybrid the Geekiest Car on the Road? Maybe!
I'm not a total gearhead, but I know a good car when I see one. I am especially intrigued by hybrid and fuel efficient cars, well, because I'm kinda cheap and like to save money. Although I personally don't have a car, I could see myself splurging on a Lexus HS Hybrid for more than one reason.
Guess Who?!
Guess which car company is dropping major dough into research to produce this green diesel/electric hybrid car?
Nissan Cube: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I'm not exactly a gear-head, but I can appreciate nice cars. Especially those that are gas friendly and geeked out, which could describe the Nissan Cube to a T. Emphasis on the could.
The New Tesla Sedan Rolls Onto The Late Show
We've all seen the red hot Tesla Roadster plastered on the pages of geeksugar a time or two, and they have quite the following in the celeb world (stars like Will.I.Am and George Clooney drive them). But for most of us, the cost (which is upwards of 100 grand) is way too much cash to fork over for an all-electric vehicle. Thankfully, Tesla recently unveiled their new S model, which comes with a much lower price tag — about $50,000.
Eco Ride: 10 Earth Friendly Vehicles to Get You Going
Like it or not, the eco car is becoming more popular. I couldn't be happier, and to prove it, I've rounded up ten awesome earth friendly rides for you to feast your eyes on, and none of them start with a "P" and end with a "rius." Know why?
Cute As a Button: Peapod Electric "Neighborhood" Car
I'm all about the electric vehicle, so naturally the Peapod Mobility electric car caught my eye. More like a neighborhood people mover than a take-to-the-road-with-the-wind-in-your-hair type of ride, this car's purpose is well served. Perfect for trips to the grocery store, dropping the kiddies off at school, heading to the library, and finding a parking spot downtown.
Would You Drive This Electric Car?
I'm a little obsessed with electric cars these days, which is funny, since I don't really drive. I guess this quest is similar to my neverending charging station mission — I need to find the perfect one. So when I saw the i MiEV Sport Air on Dvice (which totally reminds me of a VW Beetle), I did a geek gasp and immediately saw myself cruising around a futuristic San Francisco, all the while emitting zero emissions.
Piaggio MP3 Hybrid: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Scooters are an awesome alternative to cars for city driving. They're better on gas, and they take up much less room, which equals more parking options!
Italian scooter manufacturer Piaggio not only produces some of the coolest scoots on the planet (Vespa anyone?), but now they're getting their green on again with the MP3 Hybrid scooter, which was recently unveiled at the International Motorcycle Expo in Italy.
