Ford Synus with a 45" LCD screen attached to rear door!!!

[FreshPrince]

The Ford Synus concept car has a 45-inch Sharp Aquos monitor mounted on the interior side of the tailgate door. Coupled with a high-res camera on the outside of the door, it can turn the entire monitor into a virtual glass back, looking out on traffic behind you. That would make the Synus the easiest SUV to back up in a tight parking lot--if this technology makes it to production.

Who the hell would name a car after the part of your body that generates snot?


Why not the Ford Anus

 

[Anubis]

backing up a SUV isnt hard for someone that knows how to drive, the rear window works fine

The real question is, can you play Half-Life 2 on it? :evil:

Yeah, because before this was out, I couldn't just turn around and look for myself.

Does the cam allow for controlled movement of the lense to look lower or left and right? What's the range of view? i.e. how many degrees with regard to peripheral does the cam display?

 

[Mo0o]

That is absolutely useless

 

[Looney]

That's so absurd. I would much rather have that in my bedroom.

Don't say that, I wanted a blue or grey one so I could paint "Binx". Then park where I wanted and have someone just sitting waiting in the driver's seat.


And what's up with other concept vehicles having non standard opening doors. link. I guess that's the look of the future, but one will really use it.

 

[villageidiot111]

Wow, wonder how large the battery in that is!

 

[TitanDiddly]

That's is absolutely stupid.

 

[jst0ney]

wow a huge lcd screen and outside camera that replaces a window. BFD.

 

[dsfunk]

looks like a window

useless, unless you could hook up a dvd or playstation and flip the door around for camping trips

 

[wiredspider]

So there needs to be an LCD screen to display what you would normally see out that window?
