Old news but, what the heck.
7 January 2006 - The PSP maybe seen by most as a games console, but
the handheld device has taken its first steps as a remote control
for your car.
Based on what was once a 94 Honda Civic, a pimped-up concept car
called the ElecTrick, has gone on show at CES in Las Vegas that
allows you to control everything from opening the doors, turning on
the lights and even driving it down the street all via the PSP and
a Wi-Fi connection.
The car which has been modified by Metra Electronics in Holly Hill,
Florida, who specialise in electronic amps, stereo racks, amps and
in car dvd players is even eco-friendly having its petrol engine
ripped out in favour of an electric one.
We took out the petrol engine not for the green appeal, but so we
could get in more amps and kit, a spokesperson for the company
told Pocket-lint.
But the company didn't just stop at the remote control and
eco-friendly elements. Showing that this vehicle could beat any
home cinema system the car comes with 24 LCD screens, including one
in the front grill, three amps and more speakers than an Aerosmith
concert.
The price tag? Pocket-lint was told that it was not for sale,
however the spokesman said that if it was it would be in the region
of around $250,000 (£130,000).
Still just think of the looks you would get on the school
run.
