Sami Genc's curator insight, March 19, 2016 1:22 AM

                    Indeed, i agree on the authors idea.Definately this is a futuristic invention which i would see it happening in the next ten to tweenty years or so,i have also seen this smart eco friendly car  invention in other articles and it certainly looks like a promising one.

             I feel that this electric car is space friendly as the driver and passenger exit the vehicle through the front of the car , via a retractable windshield that lifts up.In a small city like Singapore,which space is limited,this smart electric car would certainly be a positve factor to the citizens here and would come as a possible solution for limited space to the government.

             The people which would benefit from this will only be couples since the car is a two seater car.

               I would say that there are also some negative factors,the manufacturer should make a four to six seater car so as to attract families with children since the car is a elecrtic car and is eco friendly ,this can also then reduce the number of cars using petrolium on the road and cause lesser pollution to the environment.

MIT’s Super Glass is Glare-Free, Fog-Resistant, and Cleans Itself

MIT’s Super Glass is Glare-Free, Fog-Resistant, and Cleans Itself | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
MIT researchers have developed a glass to resist glare, fog, and dirt using tiny cones etched into its surface.

 

The glass is created by depositing thin layers of material on the surface of the glass and then selectively etching that material away. The end result creates tiny cones on the glass taller than they are wide that allow the glass to prevent reflections and also repel water.
