Audi is pioneering the way to the most literal attempt at minimal, all-in-one devices. They're combining their car control devices with a cell phone into one neat [and conceptual] gadget, not to even mention all of the other features it carries.
Not only can it control your car and your calls, it also sports Wi-Fi and 3G UMTS technology. But that isn't all, folks. If this thing goes through, it will play your MP3s and act as in input for the car's naviagtion mechanism.

You don't want to resort to immature hand gestures, but you need to let this clown know who's boss 'round these parts. Here is where the Driving LED Emoticon comes in.
The battery powered device is attached to your back window.

Most if not all have of will be involved in a motor vehicle accident in their lifetime and the troubles that can follow with insurance companies, police, and the other party can be downright terrible. I know when I was rear ended about a month ago one of the things that I found out right away was that the driver of the SUV that smashed my little car wasn't insured nor was it even his vehicle... you can imagine my reaction I'm sure. I personally think that most anyone would do just about anything they could to prevent something like that from happening, whether your the party being hit or the driver that just couldn't stop in time.

In the hugely saturated market of GPS systems a new product really has to have something different or special to stand out above the rest and this is just what Navigon are trying to achieve with their 7100 and 5100 GPS devices.
So what do the Navigons offer that makes them so special, well firstly a subscription-free real-time traffic data report aswell as points of interest reviews, a Lane assistant which tells you the best lane to be in for where your going and a Reality View which gives you a rich 3D virtual reality display of your route.
