Tesla Model S
If you haven’t heard of the Tesla Model S, I can’t believe how poor your short term memory is (you just read it in the title of this post). The Model S is an upcoming all electric sports sedan from California based US auto manufacturer Tesla Motors. It’s key features are; being awesome, all electric, touch screen controls, 300 mile range, 0-60 in 5.5s. If that’s not enough, it uses some pretty slick technology that you might find in your web browser to display the controls.
The goood people at Tesla have uncapped some really exciting potential for game-changing technology applications in the market of our future vehicles. For their prototype they are using Adobe AIR and Merapi to link up the hardware of the vehicle to the beautiful touch screen displays to give the driver access to controls. Aside from typical dashboard features, it has a 3G connection which at this point provides access to Google Maps.
The whole thing is very exciting for technology enthusiasts and pro EV fans alike. Congratulations Adam , Dave and the good folks at Tesla on some great work. Check out the video below for the Model S in action, and check out Roundarchs’ Impost for the official release.
