Rinspeed, a Swiss automobile maker company known for non-conventional designs strikes another one. This time, it’s a design concept of an automobile that can be virtually controlled through a iPhone.
iChange is a design concept that surpasses many automobile concepts. The automobile world is simply taken aback with Rinspeed quick revolution towards the use of iPhone as car controller. People who have the tendency to forget their car keys often but not their iPhone would benefit a lot with iChange. Forgetting, or even losing your car keys won’t be a problem since iChange’s vehicle functions can be controlled by the instructions given through the iPhone. Simply plug it into the dashboard and control everything from there.
With iChange’s no-key ignition feature, driving would start by clipping the Apple device onto the dash. After that, a green start button would appear on the iPhone’s display, simply touch that button and iChange would go and hit the road. Other vehicle controls such as headlights can be handled through iPhone too.
If put into production, Rinspeed’s iChange can be used either as sports car or family car. The rear end of the vehicle is installed with a panel with two hidden extra seats. A button somewhere in the dashboard just needs to be pressed to pop the panel up for the rear seats to unfold and accommodate extra passengers.
Believe it or not, Rinspeed’s iChange is actually an economical and environmental-friendly car. iChange is a lightweight vehicle weighing 2, 314 pounds only. Because of that, fuel consumption is lesser. Also, the car is powered by an electric motor. As for the air conditioning system of the car, no extra fuel is needed because the car boasts solar paneling which can generate enough electricity for the cooling process.
Without any smear of doubt, iChange’s concept is really amazing. Let’s wait until this becomes an actual car and see how easy it would be to drive by pressing iPhone’s buttons.
