Geneva Motor show

Do you want to go to the ***76th International Motor Show Geneva***.. which ended just on 12th March 06,
You could... just click the image below.

And while you are seeing the show, why not also learn about the new technologies that cars are willing to bring in... in the short future. Something like,

"Lexus for example, has equipped one of its models with stereo cameras and radar to detect upcoming obstacles. It can also see what is creeping up on you from behind.

And if all the coddling means your attention wanders, there is a camera checking the driver's eyes are on the road.

In the event that there is an obstacle in front of the car and the driver is at the same time looking at the side of the road, the system will sound a warning to alert the driver."

... that reminds me of a system which I heard of long back on some TV, about a car that can detect whether the driver is sleepy and slow-down while alerting the driver.. It could do the detection based on a heart-beat rate and the eyes.
