I just recently blogged about the top car technologies we will most likely see in the future of cars. One of those features was the ability to fly in your car. Ironically at Hyundai’s annual Idea Festival, a flying “car” was showcased at the event. The prototype designed by Hyundai engineers is a hover-type vehicle with a driver’s seat in the middle. The term car in this sense is one that should be used lightly, considering this vehicle was controlled by an outside operator with a remote control and not from the cockpit. The design seemed so simple. A bunch of rotors, 16 to be exact, surrounds…

The lengths to which automobile manufacturers will go to demonstrate that their vehicles are more technologically advanced in some way are astounding. Take MINI for instance as they claim to have put out the first ever “car doing a backflip” video. It’s really more a testament to the ability of engineers to create the right circumstances to make it happen rather than anything the car itself can do. Having the right ramp height and angle, knowing the exact speed that the driver needs to be going when he hits the ramp, putting together the snow ramp that acted as a landing strip – it’s not easy but if they…

Last year, Audi started showing off its e-bike concept, a high-tech 50 MPH electric bike with carbon fiber and built in WiFi. The cool two-wheelers made its rounds through the blogosphere and tech shows and inspired many to think outside of the box with bicycle designs. Georgian designer Vladimer Kobakhidze was one of the inspired and designed a concept folding bike with the Audi logo proudly emblazoned on the frame. What Kobakhidze may or may not have done intentionally was to use the Mercedes Benz famous three-spoke logo as the wheels of the bike. It’s all harmless, but fun to point out nonetheless….

We love cars. Cars have made our lives simpler and easier to manage. We can go longer distances, run errands faster, complete daily tasks quicker, and are able to get from A to B in a shorter amount of time. Simply put, for the majority of us, life would not be the same without our vehicles. Nonetheless, just like everything else in life, cars don’t last forever and as a result, we end up buying a newer vehicle and abandoning the older one in our backyards, etc. This is when nature takes over and turns vehicles into an art-like creation. Discover their beauty with these 10 car photographs below. Thanks…

Nissan generated plenty of buzz from the launch of the all-electric Leaf, the world’s first mass-marketed family sedan EV. But at the Geneva Motor Show, Nissan will unveil a new electric vehicle that’s sure to turn even more heads. The Nissan ESFLOW is an all-electric sports car concept that employs the same technologies installed in the Nissan Leaf. But unlike the Leaf, the ESFLOW features two electric motors that power each of the rear wheels. The car’s laminated lithium-ion batteries are also mounted low to achieve the best possible weight distribution. These differences, according…

Hybrid vehicle sales account for less than 3 percent of auto sales overall. Despite this surprisingly low figure in the midst of unrelenting buzz, hybrid technology will only become more prevalent over the next couple of years. Evidence of that was on display at the recent 2010 LA Auto Show, where many automakers showed off new hybrids that were destined to reach showrooms in the near future. But consumers aren’t the only ones looking to gain miles per gallon and curb emissions. Even the most unlikely of vehicles benefits from cutting-edge hybrid technology: street sweepers. “A sweeper…
