Concept Car Honda EV-N

Honda is set to introduce its latest concept car on the Tokyo Motor Show come October. The EV-N battery-powered car comes with a retro style similar to European cars during the 1960s and features swappable seat fabrics, a solar panel on the roof, and an integrated communications system. Its passenger door even contains Honda's UX-3 gyroscopic unicycle (think of it as a seated Segway), which not only adds about 22 pounds in the process, but also adds up coolness points... for us, at least.

Street View rig for fun and profit

If you suddenly find yourself with $300 to burn, an old laptop, and too much time on your hands this weekend, I might suggest that you build a DIY Google Street View-style rig for your car. That’s what West Point student Roy Ragsdale did for his “disruptive technologies” class. And if someone at West Point does it, it’s okay for you to do it.

The gear consists of eight Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000 webcams, a couple D-Link USB hubs, a GPS receiver, and an old laptop running Ubuntu. Roy whipped up a script that made each of the cameras take a 1280×1024 snapshot every 20 seconds and then later had each 8-pack of photos stitched together to form a panoramic picture. He was able to grab photos while driving over 60 miles per hour that were “perfectly clear and on par with those available on Google Street View.”

Sounds fun, I guess. Sort of. There’s always the actual Google Street View, too, which involves keeping your $300 and far less driving. Well done for a class project, though.
