Technology is marching its way into the thick of things sending the vehicles on a futuristic roller with each passing day, yet keeping eco-credentials in the hood. Judging by the kind of conceptual dashboards high school students have designed for the Dash+ Contest we can surely reflect on what we could expect from our car’s dashboard in the future.
The school teams from Dash Tech of Dearborn, Michigan, EDV Technologies of Santa Barbara, California and Harker Innovation Team of San Jose, California have suggested dashboards with in-dash avatar to coach drivers toward efficiency, with smart navigation system to inform when to take public transport instead of the car and with a web enabled dashboard that rewards the economical drivers with “green points” redeemable for discounts at participating retailers respectively.
The winner of the DASH+ contest will be decided via online voting, so you can vote in for your favorite team that you think has a dash design that’ll maximize fuel efficiency by encouraging drivers to drive with a green foot.
