Opinion: Does Nokia move pave way for car that drives itself?
I’ve wanted a car that drives itself ever since I first watched Knightrider. What child of the 1980s didn’t grow up hoping that by the time they turned 17 a real-life version of K.I.T.T. would be on the market. Well, this weekend I turn 30 and that hope is still not a reality some 13 years later…
Forget the tights and cockpiece, the PAL-V flying car will really turn you into Batman
Figures that the concept for a flying car would come from the Netherlands, a country famous for their lax drugs laws and the only place you can wander into a coffee shop on the street and come out with a hash-soaked strawberry milkshake. Ahh, memories…
A Dutch inventor, John Bakker, has created a flying gyrocopter tricycle, or ‘Personnel Air Vehicle’ (PAL-V), which has been in development the past six years and even received funding from private investors.
According to Born Rich, the…
Remote-Controlled Beverage Buggy :(
This is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a remote-controlled car for drink cans. When do drink cans ever need to be driven about?
And don’t go saying it’s a labour saving device, as the simple act of putting cans…
Vertu Ascent Ferrari 60 Limited Edition mobile phone for seriously rich fools
Upset that you and your moneybags missed out on the £280,000 INCOGNITO watch? More money than style and sense, and really feel like splashing out a few thousand today?

Then lunatic vehicle maker TRIKEtec has just the thing to ferry you at great speed between hair replacement surgery and the gym.

The Bugatti Volo toaster will be the closest you get to the real thing
Car company CEOs are clever sods. Long ago they realised only a slight percentage of the world can afford their expensive wheels, so to ensure they work their way into everyone’s households, they branched out into other products, often collaborating with other high-end manufacturers, like we saw with the Ferrari-branded Meridian F80.
Possibly the only affordable device from the world’s priciest car company, Bugatti has rolled out the Volo toaster for car fans whose closest encounter to a Veyron is downloading desktop wallpapers of the car. £140 does seem…

Zaha Hadid's futuristic Z.car broom-broom-brooming towards the Guggenheim Museum
Ok, forget the electricity-powered Toyota I mentioned the other day, this baby is my new dream car. For, you know, when I marry one of the Jetsons and can fly and food comes in little colour-coded pills.
Currently only a prototype winging its way to the Guggenheim Museum in New York City shortly, it was designed by architect Zaha Hadid…
