You’ve heard us right. No need for high oil prices, no need to go to wars in far away countries.

All you need to do is to take a garden hose and put in the fuel tank. The process works with a fuel cell that breaks the water into their basic ingredients: Hydrogen and oxygen.

Then the car uses the hydrogen to drive the car. Using hydrogen to power cars is not something new. But up until now the main problem was storing and moving the hydrogen which is highly flammable.

Genepax which invented the system is not publishing all the details behind the new system from obvious reasons. But the company promises it can make the system for $5,000 (not including the car) on mass production.

Here is a video of the car in action:

Will water prices go up when we all drive water cars? we hope not, because that’s mean that will have to drink oil.

The system in the video is called the Da Vinci system and it’s made by Intuitive Surgical from Sunnyvale in California. The system allows the surgeon to perform tasks in HD video while moving the robotic hands. COOL!

The eye-tracking system from EMR-9 from Nac Image, is a new experimental system that tracks how a driver watches the road. These goggles are equipped with three CCD cameras that records 240 frames per second. With this data car makers can better understand how we watch the road. In the future they can design a system that identify if we cross a line, or moving out eye sight to other places than the road.

With this, and the GPS system that helps us to know if we are in a bad neighborhood, we should feel pretty safe in our cars.
