DARPA and Technology

Part 5

Since the dawn of human history, human beings have used and studied technology. Technology is
very important, because it deals with the development and sustenance of society and civilizations.
From the Great Pyramids and other temples to modern skyscrapers today, humanity relied on
technology, science, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and other skills to make awe inspiring
structures a reality. In our generation, there is the growth of green technology and the importance
of STEM fields. Many young people are learning about coding and molecular biology too. All of the
concepts are vital, because we need STEM fields and the development of tech jobs in order for us to
further cultivate an advanced civilization.
In the 21st century, we live in a new era. We have computers that are small in size, but have
massive computing power. We have satellites, and underwater vehicles which can travel long
distances. We live in a world where Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Scribd, Snapchat, and
other diverse social media formats allow people internationally to communicate with each other
simultaneously. We have massive amount of futuristic devices that detect sound, measure distance,
gauge electrical power (in the realm of ohm, volt, watt, etc.), decipher temperature, and create
beautiful art too. That is why it is important for us to understand mathematics. Mathematics is how
we measure the physical travel of particles, how we count money, and how we gauge power in
physics among many circumstances. We should encourage always the youth and adults to pursue
fields in technology if they desire too. We certainly need more plumbers, architects, electricians,
builders, teachers, historians, social activists, computer science experts, and other tech experts
which enrich the world in general. Some of our greatest inventors in human history used
determination, a love of STEM fields, and dedication to achieve their goals. Anyone, regardless of
their color, nationality, creed, or sex, have the right to develop and use technology in enumerable,
positive avenues.

Maglev
Maglev and other high speed traveling vessels are international. Maglev transportation systems are
vehicles in the cutting edge of travel and the transport of supplies in the globe. Today, airplanes still
provide the fastest way for human beings to travel. Some planes travel hundreds or even thousands
of miles in distance. Fast speed aircraft especially has revolutionized the transportation industry in
the last 100 years. People can now travel to places in hours when back in the day, it took days or
weeks. Today in our generation, we witness the growth of Maglev trains. Maglev is short for
magnetic levitation. They exist in America, Europe, Asia, and in other places of the world too.
Magnets have opposite poles that attract each other and like poles repel each other. This concept is
fond electromagnetic suspension or EMS. Electromagnets are similar to other magnets in that they
attract metal objects, but the magnetic pull is temporary. If someone connects the ends of a copper
wire to the positive and negative ends of an AA, C or D-cell battery. This creates a small magnetic
field. If you disconnect either end of the wire from the battery, the magnetic field is taken away.
This idea is related to a maglev train system. The 3 major parts of this system are: a large electrical
power source, metal coils lining a guideway or track, and a large guidance magnets attached to the
underside of the train. One huge difference between a maglev train and a conventional train is that
maglev trains dont have an engine. They dont have the engine used to pull typical train cars along
steel tracks. The engine for maglev trains is unconscious. So, they dont use fossil fuels. The maglev
uses the magnetic field created by the electrified coils in the guideway walls and the track combine
to propel the train.

The image above shows the maglev track. There is the magnetized col running along the track. That
is called a guideway. The guideway repels the large magnets on the trains undercarriage. It allows
the train to levitate between 0.39 and 3.93 inches (or 1 to 10 centimeters) above the guideway.
Once the train is levitated, power is supplied to the coils within the guideway walls to create a
unique system of magnetic fields that pull and push the train along the guideway. The electric
current supplied to the coils in the guideway walls is constantly alternating to change the polarity of
the magnetized coils. This change in polarity causes the magnetic field in front of the train to pull
the vehicle forward, while the magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust. Maglev
trains float on a cushion of air. This gets rid of friction. The lack of friction and the trains
aerodynamic designs allow these trains to reach unprecedented ground transportation speeds of
more than 310 mph. This is twice as fast as Amtraks fastest commuter train. In comparison, a
Boeing-777 commercial airplane used for long-range flights can reach a top speed of about 562 mph
(905 kph). Developers say that maglev trains will eventually link cities that are up to 1,000 miles
(1,609 kilometers) apart. At 310 mph, you could travel from Paris to Rome in just over two hours.
High speed vehicles can make journeys last much shorter than using conventional buses or trains.
Some high speed rail travel by Maglev and others travel by electricity too. Some travel faster than
250 mph. The first of such systems in the modern age operated in Japan as early as 1964. It was
called the bullet train. Usually, high speed trains operate on a standard gauge tracks of continuously
wielded rail on grade separated right of way that incorporates a large turning radius in its design.
Some high speed trains have passengers and others carry freight service.
Back in 1899, high speed development started in Germany. There was the Prussian state railway
joined with 10 electrical and engineering firms. They electrified 45 miles of military owned railways
between Marienfelde and Zossen. The line used a three phase current at 10 kilovolts and 45 Hz. The
Van der Zypen & Charlier company of Deutz, Cologne built two railcars, one fitted with electrical
equipment from Siemens-Halske, the second with equipment from Allgemeine ElektricittsGesellschaft (AEG), that were tested on the MarienfeldeZossen line during 1902 and 1903. On
October 23, 1903, the S&H-equipped railcar achieved a speed of 206.7 km/h (128.4 mph) and on
October 27th, the AEG-equipped railcar achieved 210.2 km/h (130.6 mph). These trains
demonstrated the feasibility of electric high-speed rail. However, regularly scheduled electric highspeed rail travel was still more than 30 years away.

Back then, electric railroads existed. Yet, the cost and disasters delayed high speed trail systems. In
America, there were fast speed trains in America. Extensive wind tunnel research the first in the
railway industry was done before J.G.Brill in 1931 built the Bullet cars for Philadelphia (P&W).
They were capable to run at 92 mph. By the 1950s, faster trains existed. The modern high speed
rail service was developed by Japan. Japan back then had 45 million people and Tokyo plus Osaka
was densely populated. Shinji Sog, President of Japanese National Railways, insisted strongly on
the possibility of high-speed rail, and the Shinkansen project was implemented. A test facility for
rolling stock, now part of the line, opened in Odawara in 1962. The Tkaid Shinkansen began
service on October 1, 1964, in time for the Olympics. The Shinkansen system was expanded and
passengers traveled in the system too. They traveled almost 200 mph. It has improved over the
years in terms of line speeds, noise control, aerodynamic drag, braking systems, and other parts of
its infrastructure. By the 1960s, high speed train systems were developed in Europe and America.

STEM Fields (and coding)

Coding is part of the present and the future. What is coding? Coding is the technique and the
processes on how human beings can create computer software, apps, and websites. It uses
different browsers, the OS, apps, the phone, Facebook, and other functions. Some coding can be
simple as writing in Python language to print Hello, world! Other coding can be more complex.
Coding in essence is computer programming. Expressing a tweet and using debit card involve
coding. Many everyday items have computers like microwaves, cars, etc. Coding include
instruments that computers can understand. The instruments have to be precise. Computers need
instruments in order to function like a recipe is used to cook food. Many forms of computer
languages include the following: Python, C++, Perl, Touch Develop, and Visual Basic. Each of these
computer languages are different in their own ways. These languages are similar to different
languages that human beings express verbally like English, Spanish, French, Swahili, Italian, Chinese,
etc. Coding is like a language. The grammar of coding is called syntax. One example is how in English
the sentence of Set lives in the game to 3 can be equal to the coding of game ->set life (3). This
means that you have 3 lives in a games and after those 3 lives the game is over. This code has a
noun which is game. The noun in coding is called the object. There are other objects in the game
too. The verb is called function in the coding example is called Set lives. The information we give
the function is the parameter. 3 in parenthesis the parameter, because there are 3 lives in the
game.

Computers function by transistors (or switches) going on and off. Binary code is the representation
of these combinations as 1s and 0s, where each digit represents one transistor. Binary code is
grouped into bytes, groups of 8 digits representing 8 transistors. For example, 11101001. Modern
computers contain millions or even billions of transistors, which means an unimaginably large
number of combinations. Programming languages help to organize massive combinations of
transitions found in computing systems. Any programming language has a group of syntax rules that
define how code should be written or formatted. Low level language is similar to a binary code a
computer understands. High level languages are less similar to a binary code. High-level languages
are easier to program in, because theyre less detailed and designed to be easy for us to write.
Nearly all of the main programming languages in use today are high-level languages. A program is a
text file written in certain coding language. Coding language must translate its source code into
assembly language, a super low-level language that uses words and numbers to represent binary
patterns. Depending on the language, this may be done with an interpreter (where the program is
translated line-by-line), or with a compiler (where the program is translated as a whole). More
people are using coding, like black people, people of color, girls, women, young people in general,
young people, older people, etc.

There are many heroes who have worked to advance STEM fields for a long time. Dr. Hilda
Hutcherson is one of the greatest doctors of our generation in America. For long years, she has not
only helped people medically. She has promoted great work in giving black people and other
minorities opportunities to go into the medical field. She has advanced diversity and mentorships
nationwide. Dr. Hilda Hutcherson is also among the top physicians in the nation as according to
Black Enterprise and Castle Connoly. She worked in Columbia University. She has written books, and
inspired the world via her magnificent work ethic and her gracious actions. I wish the best for the
Sister.
Sister Dr. Alexa Canady is a history maker. She was born in Lansing, Michigan. Her love of education
is inspirational and she worked hard to achieve magnificent accomplishments. For long decades,
she has helped children throughout America. She was the first African American woman to become
a neurosurgeon when she completed her residency at the University of Minnesota in 1981. Dr.
Canady is an inspiration for anyone seeking to better themselves and anyone who desires their
dreams to be fulfilled.

Black Women Rock

There are a lot of unsung heroes in the world. One unsung hero is Sister Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green.
She was raised in St. Louis, Missouri. She recently received a grant in order for her to research laser
technology in order for her to fight cancer. Cancer is a vicious disease that doesn't discriminate. It
can be caused by genetics or by other means. Regardless of our political views, we are in opposition
to cancer and we want it to be extinguished completely. A lot of people in Facebook are doing a
magnificent job in bringing awareness on this issue and spending time plus energy to help those
who suffer cancer. You know who you are. Hadiyah-Nicole Green has work hard and her
accomplishments will forever be respected by me. She is a role model and she wants more black
women to be involved in STEM fields. I agree with her 100 percent. Today, she is the assistant
professor in the physics department of Tuskegee University. The beauty of physics is that it deals
with mathematical formulas, the analysis of the motion of particles, and the evaluation of the law
of gravity including other physical laws in the Universe. Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green is an excellent
scientist and a wonderful human being. She is in her 30's and we want her to continue to do even
more for the cause of eradicating cancer once and for all. Bless Sister Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green.
Sister Mae Jemison has promoted STEM fields for years and decades. She is the first African
American woman to travel in space in November of 1992.

Black Excellence is not just a reality in the Universe. It is a way of life that shows the power and
resiliency of our people. This gracious woman is Sister Dina Griffin. For years, she has worked in the
architecture field. Architecture deals with many fields like art, mathematics, technology, and other
facets of human expression. You have to use engineering too in making sure that materials fit and
that structures show balance and stability in their compositions. Architecture is beautiful and much
of it resides from the creative impulse found in the human mind. Not only is Dina Griffin an
architect. Today, she is the President of a successful architecture firm, Interactive Design, Inc. (IDEA)
in Chicago, which creates designs that enrich and inspire peoples lives. She constantly works
nationwide to inspire the youth (including minorities) to pursue a field in architectural design.
Architecture is a splendid, magnificent field to go into. It requires work, dedication, and unique skill.
Also, black people have a very long history in architecture too. Many of the most beautiful
structures in human history have been developed by black people. Dina Griffin was a graduate of
the University of Illinois School of Architecture at Urbana-Champaign. Her encouragement, her
great accomplishments, and her words of wisdom represent the journey of life.

Sister Helen Octavia Dickens, for decades, has assisted human beings magnificently in terms of
medicine. She was the first African American woman to be admitted to the American College of
Surgeons. She was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1909. Her accomplishments are lengthy like being a
doctor, a professor of obstetrics, and gynecologist. She was a former associate dean of medicine.
She was a daughter of a former slave, so she lived through Jim Crow, the Harlem Renaissance, the
civil rights movement, and to the 21st century. African American mentors inspired and we are
inspired by her sagacious wisdom involving medical issues. Helen Dickens has helped teenagers,
used counseling, and she educated young mothers. Her grace was extraordinary. She passed away
in 2001. Her legacy is strong. Her life always tell us that we must help our neighbor and promote
investments in medicine, so human beings can fulfill their potential and that society is
comprehensively enriched. Rest in Power Sister Dr. Helen Octavia Dickens.

For decades into the future, I will always acknowledge unsung heroes who are achieving
magnificence in the world. She is Sister Dr. Rhonda Jordan-Antoine, PhD from MIT. She co-founded
EGG-Energy in Tananiz, providing electricity through a battery swapping service. She is holding a
charged battery which customers pick up at a central station, to bring home for 5 days worth of
electricity to power high efficiencies LED lights, the radio, and charge cell phones. She has worked
to help developing countries involving energy. She was from Clinton, Maryland, which is a suburb of
Washington, D.C. She has bachelors and masters degrees in electrical engineering from Columbia
University in New York City. She can dance too and has performed throughout the world. She is an
outspoken advocate of renewable energy. Dr. Rhonda Jordan-Antoine, is a blessed human being.

Brother Verone Mankou is involved in STEM fields. Also, he's a genius who created the Way C tablet
computer. He is from the Congo and he wants Internet access to spread throughout the
circumference of the globe. He created the first made in Africa tablet computer. He has created a
smartphone too. He wants to expand the wonder of STEM fields all across the African continent.
We all wish the Brother the best. It is important to promote human excellence and the
development of our society. It is when we bless others that we truly bless ourselves as human
beings.

New Technology
Now, we have the LG Display flexible OLED screen. It is the first rollable screen. The large sized mass
producible flexible OLED display. The bendable polyimide film (not hard plastic) on the back plane
panel. It has an 18 inch high resolution screen and it can roll into an one inch wide tube. LG wanted
to develop an ultra HD flexible monitor thats greater than 60 inches by 2017.
Charles Q. Choi is a Live Science Contributor. In his June 29, 2016 article entitled, Lab Grown Living
Bones Could Yield Customized Implants described about this reality of how pieces of living bone
has been grown from the cells of patients. This technology is being used to sculpt to replace missing
anatomical structures. Researchers have used custom engineered bone to repair a pigs lower jaw.
The pigs jaw is one of the strongest and most complex jaws in the face. Researchers believe that
this development could pave the way for bone repairs elsewhere in the body. Bones are complex.
Since bones can be difficult in finding natural replacements, surgeons use titanium and other
artificial implants. Yet, these implants lack bone marrow. Bone marrow can help generate red blood
cells and immune cells. Patients receive blood and there is the risk of tissue rejection. Also, some
doctors can harvest bone from another part of the patients body, but this can lead to extreme
pain.
Now, scientists hope to grow living bone in the lab. They experimented with pigs since the pigs jaw
anatomy and mechanics mimic closely to those of human beings. The scientists use chunks of cow
thighbones and got rid of their cells using detergents and enzymes. They carved the chunks into fits
for the pig jaw. Later, the bone scaffolds were merged with pig stem cells (from fat). Later, the
implants were placed in bioreactors that supplied the stem cells with oxygen and nutrients. In 23
weeks, the stems cells transformed into immature living bone. "The bone is formed by the
recipient's own cells," study senior author Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, a bioengineer at Columbia
University, told Live Science. These there were implanted into the pigs jaw. 6 months later, the
grafts were successfully incorporated into their host bodies and regenerated bone without any
complications. This caused the minipigs to use their jaws again according to researchers. Moreover,
"unexpectedly, the lab-grown bone, when implanted, was gradually replaced by new bone formed
by the body," Vunjak-Novakovic said. "This feature is what makes this implant your own bone that
will become an integral part of the native bone." [7 Cool Uses of 3D Printing in Medicine]. "This is a
very exciting step forward in improving regenerative medicine options for patients with craniofacial

defects, and we hope to start clinical trials within a few years," Vunjak-Novakovic said in a
statement. "Having a chance to work on innovative research that may be part of our future is
intriguing, energizing, and really inspiring," said study lead author Sarindr Bhumiratana, a
postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University, who is also the chief scientific officer at epiBone.
*The scientists are now experimenting with a cartilage layer on their living bone grafts to more
closely mimic natural bone. The journal Science Translation Medicine has detailed the scientists
findings online on June 15, 2016.

TV
Television technology is evolving and changing all of the time. Back in 1775, Count Alessandro Volta
produced static electricity by friction. Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg created the Eidophusikon,
which used moving pictures to represent natural phenomena in 1781. Robert Barker, in 1794,
opened his first Panorama which was a prototype of future cinemas. During the 19th century,
developments involving this technology continued. The inventor Michael Faraday passed electricity
through a vacuum tube in 1830. Early inventions like the phantascope, the stroboscope, and the
stereoscopic were ancestors of the modern TV. Nikola Telsa developed some of the earliest
examples of remote control by 1893.

K. F. Braun invented the cathode ray tube in 1897. Constantin Perskyi made the first known use of
the word "television" in 1900. One of the inventors of the mechanical television was the Scottish
engineer John Logie Baird. He demonstrated the first working television on January 26, 1926. He
was the inventor of both the first publicly demonstrated color television system, and the first purely
electronic color television picture tube. Television came into America by 1928. There was the
electronic television as well. Another inventor, Hovannes Adamian, also experimented with color
television as early as 1907. The first color television project is claimed by him, and was patented
in Germany on March 31, 1908. Scottish inventor John Logie Baird demonstrated the world's first
color transmission on July 3, 1928, using scanning discs at the transmitting and receiving ends with
three spirals of apertures, each spiral with filters of a different primary color (and three light
sources at the receiving end, with a commutator to alternate their illumination). Baird also made
the world's first color broadcast on February 4, 1938, sending a mechanically scanned 120-line
image from Baird's Crystal Palace studios to a projection screen at London's Dominion Theatre. By
the mid-1980s, Japanese electronics firms started to develop HDTV. Digital television transition was
created in the late 2000s.
There is the OLED TV screen. This screen has a new display technology called OLED (Organic Light
Emitting Diodes). The OLED are televisions are brighter, more efficient, thinner, and feature better
refresh rates and contrast than LCD or Plasma. OLED has excellent picture quality. OLED stands for
organic light emitting diode. So, an OLED is a light emitting diode LED in which there is an emissive
electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound that emits light in response to an electric
current. This layer of organic semiconductor is situated between two electrodes. Usually, at least
one of these electrodes is transparent. OLEDs are used to create digital displays in television
screens, computer monitors, portable system (like mobile phones, handheld game consoles, and
PDAs). Since the early 1950s, Andr Bernanose and co-workers at the Nancy-Universit in France
made the first observations of electroluminescence in organic materials. The worlds first organic
light emitting diode OLED TV was the Sony XEL-1. It was developed in 2007 and it was produced for
sale in 2008. It was at 3 mm making it the worlds thinnest television during its production. At the
2007 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Sony showcased 11-inch (28 cm, resolution
960540) and 27-inch (68.5 cm), full HD resolution at 1920 1080 OLED TV models. Both claimed
1,000,000:1 contrast ratios and total thicknesses (including bezels) of 5 mm.

In January 2015, LG Display signed a long term agreement with Universal Display Corporation for
the supply of OLED materials and the right to use their patented OLED emitters. In February 2015
LG Chemical and Contrast Studio delivered the largest OLED lighting array using 2,850 tiles of LG
N6SB30 OLEDs. OLEDs have great picture quality, but their lifetime is not very long. an OLED screen
uses a carbon film that sites inside of the panel before the glass screen. OLED panels emit their own
light when an electric current is passed through, but cells in an LCD display require an external light
source (like a giant backlight for brightness). In an OLED display, the pixels themselves are the
things producing the light, and so when they need to be black they are able to turn off completely,
rather than relying on a backlight to turn off on their behalf.

Futuristic Cars
Cars of the future will deal with better technology than previous years. The history of the
automobile has a long history since the 17th century. Its
history is divided into many different eras. In about 1672,
a member of a Jesuit mission in China, whose name was
Ferdinand Verbiest, built the first steam powered vehicle
as a toy for the Chinese Emperor. It was very small, so it
couldnt carry a driver, but it was quite possibly the first
working steam powered vehicle. The year of 1769 was
when the first steam-powered automobile capable of
human transportation was developed by Nicolas-Joseph
Cugnot. This was the Cugnot Steam Trolley. In
1807, Franois Isaac de Rivaz designed the first car
powered by an internal combustion engine fueled by
hydrogen. In 1864 Siegfried Marcus built the first gasoline
This was the 1885-built Benz Patentpowered combustion engine, which he placed on a
Motorwagen or the first car to go into
pushcart, building four progressively sophisticated
production with an internal combustion
combustion-engine cars over a 10-to-15-year span that
engine.
influenced later cars. Marcus created the two-cycle
combustion engine. The car's second incarnation in 1880
introduced a four-cycle, gasoline-powered engine, an

ingenious carburetor design, and magneto ignition. He created an additional two models further
refining his design with steering, a clutch, and brakes. His second car is on display at the Technical
Museum in Vienna. During his lifetime, he was honored as the originator of the motorcar. As early
as 1828, the Hungarian Anyos Jedlik invented a type of electric motor, created a tiny model car
which was powered by his new motor. In 1834,Vermont blacksmith Thomas Davenport, the
inventor of the first American DC electrical motor, installed his motor in a small model car, which he
operated on a short circular electrified track. In 1835, Professor Sibrandus Stratingh of Groningen,
the Netherlands and his assistant Christopher Becker created a small-scale electrical car, powered
by non-rechargeable cells. In 1885, Karl Benz built his first automobile. In 1886, Karl Benz developed
a petrol- or gasoline-powered automobile. This is also considered to be the first "production"
vehicle as Benz made several other identical copies.

From right to left shows the evolution of car development over the span of over one
hundred years.

Karl Benz created the first production of automobiles in 1888 in Germany. In the United States, the
brothers Charles and Frank Duryea founded the Duryea Motor Wagon Company in 1893. That
company was the first American automobile manufacturing company. The Brass era of cars had
many vehicles using brass from 1905 to 1914. There was the Ford Model T, the Bugatti Type 13, and
other vehicles back then. By the 19020s, car developed evolved rapidly. There came hydraulic
brakes, the further development of the internal combustion engine, multi-valve and overhead
camshaft engines, V16 engines, and other developments. Very stylish cars existed during the prewar period. By the 1960s, the U.Ss Big Three automakers faced competition from imported cars
from Europe and Japan.
In our generation and for the past 25 years, we have seen more standardization, platform sharing,
and computer aided design. This has reduced costs and development time. We see the usage of
front and all-wheel drive, the adoption of diesel engine, and the ubiquity of fuel injection. Many
cars have won awards on their design and function. In its existence from 2008 to 2012, the Telsa
Roadster existed. It was the first highway capable, all electric vehicle in serial production for sale in
America during the modern era. It sold about 2,500 units worldwide. From 2008-2013, there was
the BYD F3DM. That was the first highway capable series production plug in hybrid. It was launched
in China in December of 29008. It sold over 2,300 units. Hybrid vehicles have increased production

in the world. From 2012present, Tesla Model S (which was introduced in 2012) quickly climbed up
sales. It was ranked as the world's best-selling plug-in electric vehicle in 2015. It was also named car
of the century by Car and Driver.

There are many tips on first time buyers of a car. I do know many tips as well. One of the most important
tips is to be sure of your decision, because you will sign that contract (if you decide to buy a vehicle).
Signing that contract is a final agreement on what care you desire to buy. The end of the year is a great
time to buy, because during that time, manufacturers bring out many incentives and specials to buy a car.
The time of the end of the model year is another great time to buy a car too. You can listen to the
suggestions given to you from dealership leaders, car experts, etc. There are many deals where people can
buy a car which is nicer and with more mileage plus cheaper than another car. One thing to do is to
constantly ask questions. There is nothing wrong with asking questions from inventory, price deals, objects
in the car, etc. You have every right to negotiate for a lower price, so doing that is always a plus.
During test driving, you can send friends and relatives with you in order to see if you're comfortable with
that car. It is vitally important to check the insurance rate on a car before you buy it. Reading online
reviews of dealerships and checking their benefits like free oil changes, etc. are key in picking the best car
for any human being. Test out special features of the car from audio systems to air coordinating to see if
you like the vehicle. There is more to an overall good deal than simply a low selling price. Pay attention to
everything that's being offered to you, including trade-in value, interest rates and additional costs. You
have every right to get detailed answers on special features of the car. If you're unsure of your credit
standing (or you know it's bad), bring a copy of your paycheck and a home utility bill to the dealership to
prove you have income and to confirm your home address. Before getting a car, make sure you have a
detailed report on how to use maintenance on a car. Each car is different, have different parts, and require
different procedures for upkeep. You should calculate your budget in figuring out the best way to pay for a
vehicle. Make sure that you don't pay for any extra, unnecessary fees via writing in a document. You have
the right to say No to any extras that are offered to you. Finding the best interest rates is great too and
CPOs are important parts to consider too. The research you do on independent automotive information
websites should have included the invoice price (for new cars) or wholesale price (for used cars), as well as
the manufacturer's suggested retail price (for new cars) or the dealer's asking price (for used). It is key to
study all discounts before buying any vehicle.

The vehicle to the left is the Merdcedes Benz BIOME. This car was frist revealed at the
Los Angeles Design Challenge. This car was grown outside of the production line. It
uses technology and Nature. It has the light, but strong material of BioFibre.
Many concept cars are part of the wave of new cars. The vehicle above to the right is the Mercedes
Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion. The autonomous does not require a driver, instead allowing its
passengers to relax in an interior that looks more like a comfortable room youd expect to find in a
building rather than a car. Its body would be made of plastic reinforced with carbon-fiber, along
with aluminum to ensure it is as light as possible. Each door also opens at a full 90 degree angle to
allow for easy access and have special inflatable structures that act as air bags in the case of a road
traffic accident. The cars functions can be controlled via a high resolution touch screen that also
integrates other control technologies, such as eye-tracking and gesture. CES 2017 in Las Vegas
shows futuristic technology. Many of the proposed technologies involved smart cars and
autonomous cars. CES stands for Consumer Electronics Show. Hyundai unveiled its autonomous or
self-driving car too. There are sensors in the car and other devices that can reduce the incidents of
accidents on the road. In the future, more sensors will be found in the road to prevent accidents as
well.
One futuristic car is called the Alex e-roadster electric car. It will be built in Dunleer Co. Louth,
Ireland. It is a very lightweight design with chassis being designed by a specialist composite chassis
designer in Denmark. The body panels will also be made from advanced composites the
manufactures say. The car will be driven by two axial flux motors driving the rear wheels. The
motors will be powered by advanced Lithium-ion battery modules stored in a compartment
underneath the floor of the car. Top speed will be in the range 130-135 kph. Expected range is 300
km. It will also feature a quirky combined roof and doors canopy to allow easy entry and exit from
the car. The makers say that it saves a lot of weight by combining both doors with the roof. A
