Car

We do know what to expect out of a car, good mileage, good looks, good space for yourself and your luggage, safety features, good lights, etc. So in this post we will discuss a few ideas related to CARs that haven't been thought of yet.

=============
1. Sun Protection
=============
This if you carefully analyze could be one of the most obvious facts but ignored to the core feature. For people who travel for work especially in India where the temperatures are high during summer the sun is staring at the front sitters. At any point of time during day the Sun is burning the skins of people making one of the "supposed to be comfy car ride" ends up bathing in the scorching heat of the sun. AC could reduced the effects of the heat but not the skin burn. The cooler glasses on the vehicles cannot be used on the front mirror.
Another perception, what about people who want cant withstand AC ???? People who prefer fresh Natural Air than an Artificial Conditioner.

Simple and profound we are looking at things like
  1. Car design to avoid sunlight entering the car. A square headed design for the roof.
  2. Better Glasses ???? Some R&D, chemists please do your job.
  3. Better seating design - Hmm interesting.
  4. Fixtures on the car that alter only on time of the day or are removable entities that can be used during summer and find the garage otherwise.
  5. Fit a solar heater and use it to pump the AC ;-) Heat -> Energy -> Chill the Heat !!!!!!

Moral of the story, screw up the nature, global warming, global chilling, etc and then find ways to overcome that.
To be honest, the tech advancements have to continue and efforts to reduced the natures should continue as well, one way is to avoid AC, etc and use natural air.

==========================
1. Mist formation on the car windows
==========================
Another common problem is during rainy season when mist is formed on the window. The obvious reason is temperature outside is lesser than that inside. Yea switch on AC and u could drive the mist away. But how good is the idea of running the AC on a cold day. Yeah anything could be better than riding without seeing :)

So what are we looking at here
  1. The vehicle window certainly needs some work. Where are our basis sciences researchers. Please pull them in for a good idea. We need a glass that doesn't form mist in simple terms. Or u can comment if u have some ideas !!!! Nanotechnology !!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Can the car be designed such that the water is kept out of reach of the glasses. !!!! Seems tough !!! You never know.
  3. Can the wipers be replaced by something state of the art, some laser or nanotechnology !!!!!!!!!!!! Can it do just work and stop damaging the car glasses/panes. Boss at least change the direction in which they move. Cars design has gone generations ahead but the wipers still the same...!!!!
  4. Bosssss Think!!!!!!!!

Keep checking ...something may just flash and in not time u cud have found the next best / next big thing !!!!!!
