The Geneva Motor Show is full of concept cars, showcasing the best and most innovative ideas that car manufacturers have to offer, and providing a sneak peak into the future design and features of cars that we might see on the road in a few years time.

 

One of the concepts that caught my eye was the Renault R-Space, an MPV-style car with, quite a unique interior idea.

 

According to Renault, the rear cabin space of the R-Space features, "Twenty-seven miniature motors [that] power an array of height-adjustable hexahedrons, allowing four settings to be programmed, from an all-flat surface, to a booster seat, a table or a random configuration (only when the vehicle is parked) for children's games."

 

In case you don't quite fathom how it works, maybe some pictures might help:

Still puzzled? Well, me too. I guess it's just one of those wacky things by those crazy French that has to be seen to be believed.

 

Overall though, the R-Space Concept is pretty nifty. I wouldn't mind if future MPVs do look like this, but we all know how far away production cars end up from the original concepts.

  • Pandas would be extinct without human intervention

    What is it about pandas that makes them so endearing to us? Is it their distinctive black-and-white markings? Is it how they're so clumsy that you could accuse them of being drunk? Could it be because both adults and cubs look so cuddly? Whatever the reasons, pandas are popular. So popular than when countries accept pandas on loan from China that this is referred to as 'panda diplomacy'. But we all know that pandas are also endangered and need our help to propagate themselves. Apart fr

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 3

    Note: This is the third instalment of a series covering my trip to southwestern China. Read Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 here. CHENGDU Day 7: We savoured one last morning view of the Chongqing skyline from our rooms before heading to Shapingba Railway Station for our ride to Chengdu. Because we had quite a bit of luggage, we split into pairs upon our arrival and took different taxis to our accommodation. When Mum and I got there, my brother was waiting alone. Apparently, upon reachi

    In life, there is no pleasure without pain

    Before anything else, let me assure you that this is not about BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism). Like many of my posts, this is an observation about life. More specifically, the duality of pain and pleasure that exists within it. Let's consider the analogy of light and dark: A room seems bright because the darkness subdued. Yet without the presence of darkness, how do we perceive the brightness of the light? Similarly, we cannot savour the sweetness of pleasure without the

    Musings about the Pomodoro Method

    In a hyper-connected mega-city, where time seems to tick at a relentlessly brisk pace and where distractions are aplenty, pondering the art of productivity and focus is inevitable. In fact, it’s almost become a necessity. No wonder so many listicles have been written to point us in the right directions. Different methods works for different folks, of course, and when I was in my final year of university, I was introduced to a method that I regularly return to still: The Pomodoro Method, a d
