ichange

A car controlled by an i-phone??? Its just not possible… This was what I said when I first heard of i-Change, an i-Phone controlled car that resembles a small shape-shifting prototype car. But the next thing I heard that this i-phone controlled car is a product of Rinspeed and it took me no time to believe that it too is possible!

iChange is one of the many bizarre vehicles Rinspeed ahs in store. Remember underwater convertible and the company’s transparent car. This time the company has come up with yet again a peculiar vehicle to be displayed in Geneva Motor Show. This will be for the first time in the history of Geneva Motor Show that tiny iChange would be unveiled there. If the company’s claims have to be believed then iChange is going to the first car in the world whose body can actually adjust itself according to the number of passengers boarding the car. If that was not enough, it is an iPhone controllable car, right from ignition to the shape shifting seats. If you are more interested in iChange then let’s discuss some of its features.

The first and foremost thing is that the car supports no doors. Forget about the keys as well. You need not have a key to drive this car. The key has been replaced by an iPhone by Apple, which holds the powers to ignite and control the car, iChange. iChange has lithium batteries, which energizes the electronic motor. These lithium ion batteries are available for short and long drive experience as two dissimilar stocks. So you can visualize yourself to be a plane pilot when you sit in front seat.

It still seems a dream but the pictures prove the company’s point. Wonder who has actually come up withsuch an idea to create this wonder gadget and someone has actually taken so much of pain to bring this dream like car into reality. What an attempt!!! Hats off to iChange and Rinspeed.
