Join Swing Beginner Concept Car
This is the Swing Beginner concept car. As you can see, even the artistic model is impressed.
The Swing Beginner car concept is like nothing that I’ve seen in a car as it relies not on a wheel to steer, but the driver’s leaning.
Yes, the driver must lean to go in a certain direction. You might just wonder what the heck this is good for, but as you can see from the diagrams on the photo, it can do some interesting turning.

Protect 486 puts a protective shell around a scooter
This is from designer Marc Graells Ballve, and, as you may have guessed, it is some anti-theft device for scooters.
Clearly, the designer gets his inspiration from nature with the armadillo as the armor can retract like that animal’s armor.
I have no idea how heavy this armor is, but it looks pretty light, almost like plastic. I’m guessing that it requires some sort of lock at the bottom so the shell is secure.

This is a hoverboard that really works
Hopefully, you remember the most recent flying car that we reported on, the YEE. I believe that I mentioned how it is almost 2015, and we don’t have all of the cool stuff shown us in Back to the Future II.
Flying cars is just one example, and the other is hoverboards. I once heard that before the successful film sequel was released, there was an attempt to start a rumor saying that hoverboards were real, and that the only reason why they weren’t on the market was because too many parents’ rights groups complained.
According to the Back to the Future DVD 3-disk collection, hoverboards are not real, until now, at least. A French artist named Nils Guadagnin has made one, and it uses an electromagnetic system to levitate the board itself and then lasers to stabilize it.

The YEE Flying concept car: So this is love
I’ve been seeing this image on many a tech blog this morning. Everything that I have read about the YEE car that transforms into a plane is always so negative.
Most people say that it is just too good to be true, and for that I will have to agree. Then again, I’m sure that people in Da Vinci’s time thought that airplanes and helicopters would never be made.
In other words, do not doubt cool concept technology like this. Don’t assume that there is some jerk in charge of new technology who will never approve of it because this person is satisfied with the technology that we already have.

Introducing Muon, the mood car. Seriously.
This is an unusual concept car by designer Taeho Yoon. Not only does it have that unusual framework, but the Muon car can actually sense how you are feeling.
That’s right, this is the Muon mood car. According to my source, it is a car that is in tune with the driver. For example, if someone gets behind the wheel, it can detect their pulse and check your pupils. Let’s say that the driver’s pulse and eyes indicate depression. The car compensates by playing the driver’s favorite type of music.
This is just the beginning. Let’s say it is freezing cold in the morning, then the Muon will automatically turn on the seat heater.

Concept car literally splits in two
I remember there was a show called Team Knight Rider. Yes, there was a show called Team Knight Rider, and I’m pretty certain that David Hasselhoff would not want to be associated with this. That is saying a lot.
Anyway, the show had a bunch of talking cars, and I believe that it had one car that could split in two, and thus become two motorcycles. Keep in mind, I’m going on what a former roommate of mine had to say about this show.
The reason why I would even dare bring up Team Knight Rider is because it is the closest thing to this concept device that you see above. Read more about it after the jump.

Buy or Rent the world’s largest airship
In case you’ve wanted your very own airship, like Max Zorin from that last Roger Moore James Bond film A View to a Kill, then you can get the Bullet 580 for about $8 million.
You can also rent it for about $300,000 month. Of course, you had better have a lot of helium, and a lot of time to inflate it, too. This picture here was taken inside Alabama’s Garret Coliseum. That stadium had better have a retractable roof, because that blimp will never fit through the door.

BlueAnt rolls out S4 Bluetooth car speakerphone
BlueAnt has just introduced its latest device known as the S4, where this is touted to be the first true hands-free voice controlled Bluetooth car speakerphone. What does this mean for the driver? Well, for the first time, drivers are able to communicate on the road without having to touch either their phone or car speakerphone – now how about that? All you need to do is speak to the BlueAnt S4 if you want to make or receive calls, or even access information on the phone itself. Before starting, clear your throat and say the hands-free trigger phrase “BlueAnt Speak To Me” at any time, and watch the S4 more than ready and willing to serve you at every beck and call. Following that, say the command to activate your phone’s voice dialing feature, and you can make a call by mentioning the person’s name. Works great if you are familiar with your very own naming convention on the phone, but we’re not too sure how many of us out there are able to remember every single name keyed in. What happens when there are multiple same names but different people? Apart from that, whenever there is an incoming call, the S4 will read out the caller’s name and ask you whether to proceed with answering the call or not. Text to speech (TTS) technology is utilized and will b able to transfer and store up to 2,000 phonebook entries from each paired mobile phone.
