BMW Mini - Car or A Video Game???


BMW's Mini was the most tricked-out car on display at the Detroit auto show -- offering drivers a way to turn their car into both a video game and a DJ, using a joystick to help navigate the chrome circular display.

The Mini's dynamic music system shifts sound levels of different speakers and adds tracks when the car accelerates, brakes or turns. The car also turns fuel efficiency into a game using a fish bowl graphic that tips over if a driver wastes fuel by accelerating or braking too quickly.

And the on-board computer is programmed to speak 1,800 different messages, including "yippee, that was awesome!" for a smooth turn and "it's cold outside."
