Another amazing technology leap - The Volvo YCC



A concept car, recently shown at the NY International Auto Show:



The YCC was designed by a team of eight female engineers and marketers with the female driver in mind. Drivers receive custom comfort through still-in-development Ergovision technology: the driver's body would be scanned at the dealership and the information stored on a key fob. When the key is entered into the ignition, the seats, pedals, steering wheel, mirrors and headrest (with space for a ponytail) would change accordingly. GPS, stereo, and mobile phone dialing are all voice activated. There are various storage compartments for everything from sunglasses to a laptop computer, and buyers can choose from eight varieties of colors and textures for the seat covers. The biggest perk? The YCC can parallel park itself. (text courtesy of trendcentral.com)
