Keep It Personal
We've come a long way from the days of "any
colour, as long as it's black". And if Henry Ford
did say this, he'd get a hell of a shock seeing how
you can make money by allowing such as great
amount of personalisation. There will be colour
changing paints and panels, interiors with fl ex-
ible confi gurations, and suspended seats that
"tilt." Your back seat will look like your living
room and you decide the ambience of the vehi-
cle. Would you prefer the inside of your car to
look like a European discotheque or perhaps a
Swiss ski lodge? Decisions, decisions.
Whilst our current driving experience is hazy
with pollution and plagued with road accidents,
the driving future is clean, safe and personal.
As for the kid's driving lessons, if they know
how to use a mouse and computer, they've ac-
tually started them already!
