Would You Drive A Golf Cart?

That's the question they asked of us for this Ford project done at Art Center College...the answer is, yes, if it is cool enough.
My design proposal utilized the open space in front of the driver provided by an electric cars lack of engine/drive train to make an over-sized windscreen which doubled as an info-screen.  An embedded transparent LED screen transforms the inside of the vehicle into an entertainment center when the vehicle is stationary.  In motion, the screen is used to project GPS/Data/Vehicle metrics and other transport-relevant information.  The model pictured is made of clay, paint, starch-printed parts, blood, sweat, tears, years of my life...you get the idea.  1/4 scale...
This design, as well as those of my classmates were well received by the sponsor.  Look for more electric cars on the road near you-once the oil thing is done.
