College Exhibition: Royal College of Art - Connections
First year Vehicle Design students at the Royal College of Art were given a brief to develop a car that would achieve universal individual mobility for people of all ages living in rural environments. Using intelligent systems technology, new materials and means, and retaining high standards of sustainability, the students were asked: what are the vehicles for tomorrow's countryside? Five different groups consisting of three students devised several very different proposals to answer this question.

'LINK' train proposal by Loureiro da Silva
Reginald Hingston and Raquel Aparicio both proposed innovative, fully-automated vehicles that would be guided through the use of GPS and sensors. While Aparicio's project is a sporty car constructed in two distinct parts and operated by a tactile voice-activated controller, Hingston's project features a retractable chassis, which enables the family MPV to fit into smaller parking spaces.
The programmable people mover can take commands via telephone or internet, negating the need for a driver and freeing busy parents' schedules. But perhaps the most innovative feature is the fact that these chauffer-less vehicles can be used as transportation for the elderly and disabled: a door entry interface offers braille touch interaction inspired by NASA.
"This concept gives freedom to every type of user, even the disabled. It is a possibility to be completely free and safe the most time as possible in everyday life," said Aparicio.
Sergio Loureiro da Silva, Ilaria Sacco and Yunwoo Jeong designed LINK, a transport system that creates a flow of information by linking the home, car and public transport through information technology. Loureiro da Silva's concept is more akin to a typical train, yet creates a range of experiences for the user in order to make best use of the time spent traveling. Occupants can choose to sit in individual pod seats on the lower level or retire upstairs to one of two lounge areas.
Jeong and Sacco's project had a different stance, combining individual transportation that could link up to a person's home (doubling as an entryway) and also connect to other similar vehicles to form a train. Sacco developed the interior, complete with a rail-mounted steering wheel allowing the car to be driven in either direction and seats that can be adapted from a conventional driving position to a comfortable sofa.

Mitsubishi Lancer Review

Mitsubishi Lancer Review
In “The Blue-Eyed Salaryman,” American author Niall Murtagh charts his fourteen-year career inside Mitsubishi Japan. When Murtagh gets transferred to Osaka, he concludes that the Tokyo part of the company focuses on large visionary research projects, while Osaka demands practical applications. And there you have it: the dichotomy that accounts for Mitsubishi’s progress in the automotive arena. You have visionary products like the Evo with very little practical purpose, and dull products like the Outlander with very little vision. So where does the new Lancer fit?
Never mind the subtext, check out those lines! Designing a good-looking compact car ain’t easy nowadays. You’ve got to maximize interior space, accommodate an expanding complement of airbags and facilitate fuel efficiency (with aerodynamics that force sheetmetal shapes down the slippery slope towards suppository chic). Things can go horribly wrong; reference the Honda Civic sedan. Or the previous Lancer, which was as sexy as dental floss. This one the Mitsubishi design team nailed.
04_08lancergtsrpro.jpgThe Lancer’s proportions and details are spot on. The high beltline adds to the impression of size from the outside, yet allows occupants to feel surrounded and safe. The Lancer’s new front fascia copies Audi’s current pig snout and makes it work, flanking the orifice with a set of angry eyes headlights and bisecting the otherwise gaping maw with a suitably wide bumper. Mitsu ripped off the tail lamp design from the Alfa 156– a gorgeous machine that Americans never got the chance to ignore.
The new Lancer is not a stunning design per se– it’s more handsome than drop-dead gorgeous. But it is a stunning development for Mitsubishi. The Lancer is to Mitsubishi what the Altima was to Nissan five years ago: a radical reskin that instantly elevates a plain-Jane model from zero to hero. Unfortunately, the parallel continues inside.
08_08lancergtsbl.jpgThanks to Mitsu’s PR paparazzi, the Lancer’s cabin looks decidedly avant-garde. The flacks focused on the steering wheel, perfect in both diameter and thickness (though littered with stereo buttons and Bluetooth phone controls). They highlighted the Lancer’s sport bike-inspired gauges. They flagged its slick stereo, neatly integrated into the dash with precise, Teutonic buttonology.
Off camera, the new Lancer’s interior does the time-warp again. It’s a generic Japanese mishmash fabricated with some of the worst automotive plastics inflicted on U.S. consumers since A Flock of Seagulls first crapped on Top 40 radio, with bulbous switches that feel like they were attached with thumb tacks. The seats are nicely supportive, but why Mitsu decided to support the mouse fur industry by covering the Lancer's chairs and roof with rodent pelts is both an aesthetic and ethical conundrum.
Driving the base model Lancer is an eye-opening experience, especially when you realize that (1) the Evo X will obviously be celestial and (2) THIS is what they started with?
08_08lancergtsr.jpgThe Lancer is just an awful little car to pilot, for sportster and commuter alike. In the pursuit of a compliant ride, Mitsu has fitted the base car with a suspension made out of Twinkies. Potholes send the car bucking in a fit of confusion. And then there’s body roll. Lots and lots of body roll. Quick turns? Out of the question. (Fast corners make you their bitch.) Within minutes of assuming command, my need for speed did recede. I gave up trying to do anything more than get from Point A to Point B in the space of a single day.
Yes, I know: the Lancer’s an economy car. But it could be the only car sold in America that can make an entry level Toyota Corolla or Hyundai Elantra seem like a sports sedan. And the Lancer only achieves 21/29 mpg. How frugal is that?
05_08lancergtsr.jpgThe Lancer’s all-new 2.0-liter engine is rated at 152 horses (at an unattainable 6000 rpm). I swear a quarter have bolted for greener pastures. A wide open throttle simply kicks the CVT's droning tone up a notch. This isn’t about being a boy-racer. It’s about needing a sign to apologize to drivers while attempting merges.
What really sucks the life out of the Lancer (and sucks in general): its continuously variable transmission. Unless you opt for the top-o-the-line GTS with fake shift points, the CVT is forever locked into penalty mode. It's no fun at all.
The new Lancer is a research project gone horribly wrong. On paper, it’s a superb vehicle: 150 horsepower, loads of safety features (seven airbags, including the now popular driver's knee airbag), gadget options galore and racy good looks. But it’s all show and no go. With Mitsubishi’s American operations just climbing out of sea of red ink, it’s too bad the company forgot to benchmark the competitions' driving dynamics. The forthcoming take-no-prisoners Evo version will no doubt sort that out, but after sampling the base Lancer, I highly doubt Mitsubishi’s ability to rescue its American ambitions from the dustbin of history.

Google gets behind plug-in hybrid autos
Google gets behind plug-in hybrid autos
Internet search company Google hopes to speed the development of plug-in hybrid cars by giving away millions of dollars to people and companies that have what appear to be practical ways to get plug-ins to market faster.
The money, announced at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., this week, totals $1 million so far with an additional $10 million pledged, which might not be enough to move the needle. Though automakers are tight-lipped about what they spend, bringing a plug-in hybrid to market could cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Google won't build and sell hybrid electrics but will focus "on accelerating their development through research, testing and investment," says Dan Reicher of Google.org, Google's philanthropic arm.
General Motors is the only major automaker that has announced specific plans to market plug-in vehicles, as soon as 2010. "We applaud them for the investment in plug-in hybrid vehicle technologies," says Brian Corbett of GM. "Every little bit helps."
The federal government plans to spend $28 million on plug-in component research in fiscal 2008, he says.
Plug-in hybrids have bigger-capacity batteries than regular gasoline-electric hybrids. That means they go farther using just the battery-powered electric motor before they need to switch on the gasoline engine for more power or to recharge the batteries. Plug-ins, as the name implies, can be recharged by plugging them into normal household current, trimming even more the need for the engine.
Other automakers are researching plug-in hybrids, and some individuals and companies are modifying hybrids into plug-in vehicles. Google says it has a small fleet of Toyota Prius and Ford Escape hybrids modified into plug-ins and is recording more than 70 miles per gallon, compared with 41 mpg from its ordinary Prius hybrids.
Google.org announced six grants Monday of $100,000 to $200,000, totaling $1.05 million. The projects include advocating for and educating about plug-ins and promoting their research, design and development.
This summer, Google.org will request proposals for an additional $10 million for continued work on developing hybrids, batteries and other storage technologies and the application of renewable energy and fuels to vehicles.
