Drivetones & Knight Rider
We may be seeing a whole new level of personalization coming to cars in the near future - Case in point: DriveTones and Mio Knight Rider.
According to an article in Business Week magazine this week, Shai Agassi's electric vehicle startup, Project Better Place, will start offering the equivalent of ringtones in cars. The idea here is that electric cars are pretty silent and people (such as pedestrians) would want the cars to make some noise.. .this noise would presumably be artificially created through the use of sounds that would emanate from the car as it drives along i.e. DriveTones. Will we see hear Crazy Frog ringtones all over our roadways now?
If you want to hear the highly annoying Crazy Frog tone, check it out here:
And Mio is bringing out out a Personal Navigation Device with a Knight Rider theme. Here's a video review of this gadget:
