Would you ever have believed it 5 years ago is someone told you to take out your phone and start your car?
You wouldn’t need a car starter and your phone would do it for you. Living in Canada and having to warm up my car in the dead of winter would mean that an iPhone car ignitor would be my dream come true. Ok before we all get carried away and run out in a trek to find this ignitor we have to understand it only sits in one concept car at The Geneva Motor Show. Rinspeed, the maker of the iChange concept car revealed an impressively revolutionary, highly innovative concept car with jaw dropping features that revolve around the iPhone. The iChange is an an electric and solar powered that is aerodynamically designed to reduce air resistance and lesson its fuel consumption which in its case it electricity. Not only is this car environmentally friendly and appeals to the tree-huggers but its also technically innovative to appeal to the geeks. Especially us!
The entire vehicle is built around Apple’s popular mobile handset, which hooks into the dashboard and acts as the car’s key – locking and unlocking it, as well as turning on the engine and performing other functions.
The iChange which has been supported by the Swiss government, might seem far-fetched, but the team behind it say it is intended to stimulate the struggling car industry into innovative thinking. As the entire world faces challenging times, innovation will lead companies out of touch time.
