Filed under: Convertible , Performance , Bugatti , Misc. Auto Shows , Middle East With a gazillion color options for every little part of the Bugatti Veyron , there’s no reason why any two examples should be alike. (Except for maybe an inverse correlation between wealth and imagination.) So it would stand to reason that every Bugatti should be considered a special edition of one. And that certainly appears to be the case, as the French marque seems to bring out another special edition at every possible opportunity

Filed under: Concept Cars , Technology , Videos , GM Last Summer Toyota showed off its Window to the World technology created in partnership with the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. It turned a rear window into an augmented-reality screen that would keep kids interested in something other than asking “Are we there yet?” Now General Motors has showed off a similar bit of kit called Windows of Opportunity, developed with the Bezalel School of Art and Design in Israel. GM’s Windows concept is aimed just as much at kids as adults. The team came up with four different apps that provided interactivity ranging from a virtual take on drawing on foggy windows to checking what was on other augmented windows on cars around the world

Filed under: Government/Legal Full disclosure: Two of this author’s friends had their cars broken into in downtown Detroit last week. These incidents happened within days of each other along the same city block in the entertainment district behind Detroit’s Fillmore and Fox theaters – the exact area that this story references. Detroit is often painted in a bad light when it comes to things like public safety, and while your author – a proud Detroit resident – will gladly shout praise for The D any day of the week, the truth is, it’s not just my friends who have been wronged. A rash of break-ins have been reported in this area of Detroit over the past couple of weeks.
