Fellger is entirely confident that his company can make electric cars feel exactly how manufacturers want, and crucially without the sensation coming across as a gimmick. At its most extreme, he says the technology could make a regular electric car feel like a Formula One racer.“What I can tell you for sure is the experience of driving a car with this kind of technology really will let you feel like you’re driving a Formula One car.
But, while driving enthusiasts worried about the lack of soul of future electric sports cars could benefit from such haptic wizardry, Icon Incar wants to please other customers too. Fellger explains: “The new car community, they are not looking for [a physical driving sensation]...if you talk to my 19-year-old son and his friends, they would rather have a larger battery and be able to play their PC games in the car and use the car as a [video game] console.
Fellger explains how younger consumers aren’t looking for how a car feels while driving, but what else they can do while on the journey. Can they work, or communicate with someone? Can they be entertained and let the car drive for them? Lighting, sound and haptic technologies play a part in this future, Fellger says. “The next consumers are not the ones who will be buying a Porsche for the feeling.
People are not saving the planet by purchasing an electric-car. The 15 biggest super tankers create more pollution than all the cars on the planet. How about the 10,000 jets in the sky at any time burning jet fuel in the upper atmosphere...
Can we choose the sound? :)))
nice
