Park assist? It was already there in the 20s
Today some cars (few, to be honest) offer the possibility of parking parallel to the pavement by pressing a simple button. And they also cost a fortune, let's face it without pretense. The idea of park assist had also come from our grandparents' parents, and going back to the 30s I found truly picturesque proof of it. An unfortunately unidentified Californian inventor from the 30s has come up with a very respectable solution for parking anywhere with extreme ease. … Read more

The car you drive with your mind works.
A group of German researchers from AutoNOMOS Labs have developed a system that allows you to drive a vehicle simply through the driver's thoughts: this is what is called looking to the future. The first step was to create autonomous vehicles, capable of responding to commands from an iPhone: the development of a control system based on brain waves took longer. It is a computer capable of reading electromagnetic signals coming from… Read more
