This Wheel is not Built for the Road

An electronic wheel that will steer you clear from troubles! In your dreams pal. I wish somebody had come up with a brilliant idea that incorporates Artificial Intelligence in tires so that accidents can be avoided. ‘High hopes,’ my friend says, ‘you better concentrate on improving your driving skills.’ Who acknowledges great minds these days, anyway!

Well, for now let us just talk about this abstract art, oops... electronic ingenuity. It did raise my hopes of driving on intelligent wheels. However it turned out to be just another design innovation.

The Wheel Computer, that’s what they call it, looks like a wheel but doesn’t act like one. The reason is it is designed for your table and not for the asphalt. On second thoughts, I reckon this device resembles one of those secret microphone systems used in detective movies. This gadget is a fully-functional computer with a CD-ROM drive and some really flashy LEDs. Now, I know why designers make bad drivers.
