so i was browsing some car sites and found some crazy new features and options. The new Lexus LS has a built in recliner in the back seat with massage, heat and cooling function. it has has infrared heat sensors that constantly monitor all 4 peoples body temp. and adjusts your own areas climate to your liking. these cars r getting crazy and so advanced. I am sure u guys have seen or heard about some cool new features, so let me hear about em.

self parking,
umbrella built into door
choffer(sp) comes with car
reverse cameras
ect. ect.

Yeah I saw that Lexus in Detroit last year.... Then it also had a mini fridge under the middle of the back seat.... Also like a 3 tetrabyte/terabyte (iono) ipod

i mean the infared body temp. monitors is what got me, it watches your body temp. at 3 different points, thats crazy. And there is a new cruise control on the Mercedes that u can turn on from a complete stop and it will do ALL the accelerating and breaking, all u do it steer, u can make entire trips without ever touching the gas or brake pedal.

cvt tranmission

turbocharge hybrid cars.

regenerative braking. Did you know the toyota prius doesn't need to change its brake pads?

hydrogen power/ethonal power.. ect

>

Why dosent it need to change em?
I know that it uses the heat from it to charge the battery, but wow thats crazy.
That car pays for itself in brake jobs and gas

it does not use heat to charge the battery..

it uses the electric motor to slow down the car. kinda like down shifting to slow down your car.

therefore it hardly uses its brake pads. it only needs brake pads when your completely stoped at a stop sign to hold the car from rolling.

ohh, i dont know where i heard that whole heat thing .

i heard the same thing... braking in the prius creates energy that charges the battery... iono

I saw on a commercial that Volvo has a heartbeat monitor in the car which reads out onto your keyfob. That way you can know if someone is waiting in your car to attack you.
