Mercedes DICE concept

Ze Germans seem to be obsessed with Minority Report-style interior controls, and Mercedes-Benz has taken it to the next level with a full-scale interior with nary a button or switch to be found.

Mercedes' Dynamic & Intuitive Control Experience (DICE) utilizes a series of proximity sensors to detect arm and hand movements, which control everything from music, navigation and social functionality to a heads-up display that comprises the entire windshield.

You can get a feel for the system in action in the video after the break, but as you'll see, it's very beta, mistaking hand movements for selections and generally being a pain to use – let alone control while you're driving a car. Thankfully, Mercedes has plenty of time to work out the kinks as it won't be coming to production for at least a couple decades.

Incoming "OMG ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN" idiot brigade in 3...2...1 :p
 
I've spent the whole night watching Porsche 911 videos forgetting what the time actually is and TBH....I think a 911 Turbo S (with PDK of course!) is at the top of my wish list!

I liked this video particularly


One thing I love about them though is that the exhaust note isn't excessively loud but the meat is definitely there, it doesn't draw attention to itself but it does at the same time.

Love it!
 
In the go-kart vid you can see him hit a false neutral, he has to stop the kart as going up a gear would most likely spin the wheels when he lets the clutch out and going down would lock the wheels, bloody insane, and he didn't hit the powerband once!

Could see him plowing into the side of a truck and the kart/his body would go under, the rest wouldn't
 
The last video got me clicking on various videos of modified Volvos. There was one with a very heavily modified old Volvo with 1000hp and apparently about 1mm of ground clearance:


The most notable aspect of the video is the extremely low quality of it. In addition to the "was it filmed on a potato?" type comments, there was this one that gave me the best laugh I've had today:

If I had a dollar for every frame in this video, I'd have five dollars.
