The new Benz HMMMMM

Post by Ghost on Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:40 pm

Concept car that we are probably too old to drive! NO JOKE! The new Benz - Very different....really different!



This is the new Mercedes Benz SCL600...





What is different about it?



Not that...



.....and now for the 'really different' part:



Here is what is different...



No steering wheel, you drive it with a joystick, NOTICE from either front seat! No pedals either.

Can you drive with a joystick?
Your kids and/or grandkids probably can.

The influence of video games in our lives has really arrived, wouldn't you say?

SCARY THOUGHT THAT NOW A 7-YEAR-OLD COULD STEAL YOUR CAR
AND PROBABLY DRIVE IT BETTER THAN YOU.

this was done by GM in the late 50's:

Firebird III (bottom) was built in 1958. A two-passenger, gas turbine-powered car, it was the first to feature a single stick control system which replaced the conventional steering wheel, brake pedal and accelerator. This drive- by-wire system was used in the first experiments with automated highways.
