Dual view navigation system

Delphi has shown a very cool dual view navigation system at CES.

We're totally enamored of dual-view displays, and Delphi's demoing a dual-view nav system at CES that shows a GPS display to the driver and video to the passenger. Unlike TI's dual-view DLP rig, there are no dorky glasses required for Delphi's system to work -- it uses something called a "parallax barrier" and a special TFT LCD to do its simul-screen trick, and it includes driver's seat weight sensors to shut off the video content if your chauffeur leans over to sneak a peek.

Inflatable car garage

Definitely a very cool and mobile way to park your car. At the same time it's impossible for your wife/girlfriend to do some fender bender while parking in. Great innovation!

The Car Capsule is a clear, vinyl, flame-retardant and anti-static bubble. It keeps all of those grubby hands off your vehicle, but still allows you to show off that 10-hour wax job you did for the guy from Okinawa with the weird gardens in the back yard. The eight-foot version is available for $269 with the 22-foot mega-sized version going for $419.

Safety: The safest garage in town!

Have a look at this especially cool garage, the safest place to park your car! Great.

An amazing toy for security nuts and Batman fans with a fancy car to protect, this video detailing the workings of the PhantomPark car lift is pretty incredible. The secure elevator moves your pride and joy under the garage floor, ostensibly to some kind of bulletproof, fireproof, or everythingproof bunker.

Unlocking your Aston Martin DBS with a Jaeger LeCoultre watch

Wanna feel like James Bond? Now you can, assumed you already have an Aston Martin DBS.

If buying a $332,000 Aston Martin DBS is in your budget for this year, why not spend a little more and get a $35,000 Jaeger LeCoultre wristwatch. It's not just a watch that looks great, it can actually lock, unlock and possibly activate the alarm (maybe) from a distance.

Greatest video game accessory ever!

This is a must have for all gamers! Check out the video below or read more here.

The pneumatic experts at Festo have taken a big step towards making the most real-life racing game experience, and the extent of on-road feel of their new contraption looks very impressive. Festo uses Fluidic Muscles and mechatronic systems to give users a true sensation of either driving or flying, depending on the software being used. It's really more of an industrial simulator than a game, and we're pretty sure it costs a bit more than a Playstation 3.

Mercedes-Benz has announced that you can send Yahoo Maps to their cars from 5th September. It will also be possible to Google in your car. The feature set is called Search&Send.

The new Search & Send feature will let you send directions from either maps service to the car’s navigation system with its new “Send to Car” icon. Pressing the i-button on the car’s Tele Aid system will download the directions and make them available to you. What’s rather unique about this feature is the fact that both Google and Yahoo are being offered to consumers.
