iDriver - iPhone remote controlled car

So you think James Bond Movies are all camera tricks?... not so. Most of the gadgets and devices showcased in Bonds movies are actually glimpses of the future.

The technology in this video can be used by the military for security and safety operations as well as deterrent mechanisms without putting lives in danger.

It can also be as equally attractive for the enemies of the state like terrorists and others.

But one thing for sure- it is a very potent idea.

Why blog about Future Cars?

This is merely my attempt to promote car culture to anyone who might come across this blog. In my early childhood, I was immersed into a car culture not typical to most Pinoys.

My passion for Automobiles began at age 7, since then, I have been drowning myself into the automobile world, design wise. I keenly observe the shapes, geometries and contours of cars, wonder and analyze why they where shaped like so.

As I grew up, I am able to amass a collection of Cars, from 59 Cadillac Convertibles to Dodge Chargers as well as Replicars Lamborghini, Vipers and Ferrari's. I even have rare cars in my stable. All of these were not restored or partially restored only. The main objective was to immerse myself further in understanding the design philosophies behind their shape, symmetry, size, proportioning and design logic.

It was an expensive self taught degree, but it was worth it. The degree of understanding I gained out of this hobby is better than any design school can offer. Most of the students in the Industrial Design College will never get to see or touch the cars I have mentioned above.

They may have theoretical ideas but the feel and passion to this culture - requires a lot more than mere text book romance.

Please allow me to share with you the choice cars I feel that will follow the steps and success of the golden classics of the automobile world.

Please bookmark this blog as I update it from time to time with future cars or concepts that I feel will make it in the market.
