Instead of fiddling with controls, all you have to do is point the controller where you would like the toy car to go and it will go there. Sounds simple enough. The controller is, in essence, a laser pointer and the car will follow the point of light by using an infrared tracking system.

There’s nothing more annoying when driving than coming to a complete stop at a red light only to have it change one second later. Well, besides road rage, that is. But anyway, now Audi is looking to remedy the problem with a new system called Travolution.

The product of 800+ hours of work spread over fifteen months, this tubular beastie is a painstaking reMake of Ariel’s utterly bonkers Atom sportscar.  Dubbed the z59 by its builder, Proximacentuari, it was constructed from scratch using stainless steel panels from old appliances, the Acura k20a3 engine from a crashed RSX, and the (few) bodypanels from a kayak and a doghouse.

Since recent California legislation went into effect that bans talking on cell phones while driving, the sale of Bluetooth headsets has significantly increased. And while it’s reassuring that motorists are actually abiding by the law, I’m not sure that Bluetooth will alleviate the problem that is cell phone-yacking drivers swerving all over the road.

How much praise does a manufacturer want for a aux-in socket?  Read through either the marketing for a new car, or a car review, and there’s generally an unusually large amount of interest heaped on the stereo having an input for your PMP.  Contrast that, say, with one of our own reviews – a notebook, perhaps, or a cellphone – where the progress from one generation of devices to the next is often surprising; why are the car manufacturers so slow to catch up?
