Mitsubishi Electric Futuristic ‘W’ Shaped Flying Car!!!!

At Tokyo Motor Show, Mitsubishi Electric’s has introduced their flying car which was the new concept and shown to the public for the first time at this year.  Mitsubishi Electric’s latest EMIRAI concept gives us the feeling ‘as-if’ driving a futuristic flying car with a computer operated panel and futuristic ‘W’ shape driving wheel.

This EMIRAI concept of car is designed with bio-metrically-sensitive interface that offer auto adjustment base on the seat position base on facial temperature and current heart beats. It can be said that it is mainly done for the Japanese because the computer operated side-touch panel at the right hand side of the driver’s side that allows users to do Japanese handwriting for now and the buttons that dynamically change base on the menu selection.

 The EMIRAI concept car has the ‘W’ shaped steering wheel will up and down in responding to the dashboard’s UI. No confirmation from Mitsubishi Electric when will this type of ‘futuristic’ EMIRAI concept will be implemented on commercial cars yet, but a rough prediction is about a decade from 2011. This concept features a newly developed curved, rear-projection display as the dashboard, a tactile interface with buttons that pop up when needed and a safety system that uses biometrics.

This car embodies a concept for about ten years from now. Its main feature is the display. For the instrument panel in the center, this has only been a flat LCD until now. And it has shape-changing buttons on the steering wheel. Among the 18 buttons, only those that can be interacted with are raised, while the rest are retracted. So the interface can be used intuitively without looking. The display can also be scrolled by sliding our fingers over the buttons.

 The rear seats feature newly developed curved glasses-free 3D touch screen displays. Seat position can be customized for all kinds of people that is done through persona; ID, and facial temperature measurement, or heart-rate measurement using a Doppler sensor. And also in that way itself, the system senses the person’s health condition on that day. It makes really as if our future has come soon.
