I want to start by coming out and saying I'm not one of those car luddites who think everything should hover in some magical past; while I'm very fond of old-school cars, there's an amazing amount of amazing new tech in cars, and LCD dashboards in so many new cars here at the Detroit Auto Show are a genuinely great advance.

Daihatsu has been working with a supplier to create a 3D holographic display for the dashboard of its futuristic cars. The idea is to have a 2D setup similar to a traditional dashboard that can then project a 3D image into space to create driver awareness of impending safety issues. While it sounds as if using this tech could actually be more dangerous than whatever issue it's alerting the driver to, Daihatsu plans on incorporating the display into its advanced safety system for market in cars as soon as 2012. We'd like to show you this in action but it's impossible to capture with a 2D camera, so all we have is this collection of shots of people crowded around it at the Tokyo Auto Show. We can't prove it works, though we assume it does. But we do have perhaps the scariest animated GIF ever, below the jump, as well as a press release. More »

Car clocks are cool- I've been eyeballing some nice ones at the junkyard lately as I contemplate my next junkyard-obsessed project- so it's nice to see an article about some of the nicer vehicle clocks over the years. From an 1822 carriage clock to a modern-day Mercedes timepiece, you'll get a nice slice of car-clock history from this Watchismo Times blog entry. Thanks to Jason for the tip! – Murilee Martin More »
