The coolest thing I heard after a long time...

I have joined this new company and the mix of poeple is no less than a waiting room of crowded railway station...means really really varied...from psychologists, front-end developers, multimedia experts, web designers to automotive designers, Computer Science engineers, anthropologist.

Here is my friend Auro...from one of the leading auto-manufacturer.. keeps enlightening me with these wierd but logical thought-processes behind some of the aspects of automotive design.
This is so far the coolest thing I heard after a long time...

A car accessories maker came up with a spray, its a dirt spray, totally washable .
the target audieance is SUV car owners who dont get time to hit the mud-filled road but dont want to have a embarassingly-clean looking sports car. If u cant have it...fake it my dear....spray is there for you.


He continues to give me such "wow" moments ...somthing he told me about the headlights of a car..
interestingly they are not identical...they dont through light strsight...
they are angled in a such way that it focuses and illuminates for driver's vision.

Most of us must have noticed those funky sporty looking sproilers on the back of sedan...we know it is to keep the car secure against air-lift at high speeds...but purpose of keeping a breaklight there or near the roof was mere aesthetic to me...
they are at that height so that you can see the breaklight glowing even if there is a car between you and this car and helps you react much earlier.
.... talk about innovation.
