Honda’s ‘Cooperative Mobility Ecosystem’ a glimpse into the future

For those of us that prefer hands-on driving, perhaps a bit of both. Regardless, the car is evolving at a mind boggling rate as person to vehicle connectivity, near intuitive touch screen, vocal command control, and autonomous-like drive technology enables active safety and accident avoidance systems; as a rapidly expanding multiple O.S. cell phone and entertainment device interface invades our world of personal transportation. We visit Honda’s Davis Smart House.

The things that dreams are made of, perhaps. As Honda Motor Company and others search for tangible, cost effective development in an automotive design community driven by Silicon Valley-like think tanks and cooperative open-door auto-concept labs; venues like the “2017 Consumer Electronics Show” provide a showcase for not only the mega manufacturers, but innovative electronic entrepreneurs as well. Pretty cool stuff! Take a look at the Acura’s future.
