Car innovations improving safety, fuel consumption, environment and comfort.

Does car airco or air cooler offer something new to the car today? A refrigerant that evaporates takes the heat out of the place where it evaporates. Condense that refrigerant and it will give back that heat. From this principle we make an air cooler.
In smaller systems the Peltier effect is used. (no moving parts) Soon as we find this system ready for car air conditioning we let you know.

In the future car we will have the switch on/of automated driving.

  is the first system in the car that can do the opposite as the driver commands. ABS is one of the first steps to the future car and automated driving. ABS reduces the brake power on one wheel against the will of the driver. The result is a safer car by electronic decision-making. The airbag decide to inflate by electronic decision-making.The power train in the future car takes the place of the choke.
Computers will take over driving tasks where a simple decision has to be made fast.
To day we have the knowledge to get a 3D picture interpreted by a computer. We can measure the distance by the reflection of magnetic waves. The Highway can be monitored by a computer. The basic tools are available for automated driving on the Highway. The problem is that a computer guided car does not have the right to make mistakes. The manufacture would be responsible. So "Look Ma, No Hands" will not be for the near future.
Safety systems like ABS will come first. Gradually comfort systems like adaptive cruise control that considers external factors like weather, road marks and traffic around us and gps will enter the car. Automated driving is much more complex although we would be happy with a system helping us to avoid driving into the stopping vehicle before us

The Vin Number (VIN) can be found on dashboards, driver's side door jamb stickers, and title documents.
The European Union has issued a directive to the effect that a VIN number must be used for all road vehicles in the EU member states. This directive complies with the ISO Standard but a year digit or factory code is not mandatory. Also, it is left to the choice of the manufacturer whether the VDS (Vehicle Description Section) is actually used for vehicle attributes or not. The system only applies to motor powered vehicles with at least four wheels capable of speed above 25 km/h and trailers.
In North America, a system is used that is far more stringent than the ISO Standards but is, to use a computer phrase, downward compatible.
The Vin Number was originally described in ISO Standard 3779 in February 1977 .
The vin decoder translates the figure in human language. VIN number decoding let you search or lookup and check the details of your car

The fastest car

If the question is really "what is the fastest production car," For those still taking Sledgehammer. I'd like to quote Reeves Callaway. He says, "of course the Sledgehammer is not a production car, but it shows in a spectacular manner our technical capabilities and proves an 880 hp sports car may be used in a day-to-day manner, similar to any other Corvette."(http://www.callawaycars.com/Corvette/Sledgehammer/sledgehammer_article.htm) Maybe somebody can get Callaway to tell us if even a second Sledgehammer was ever built, so they can claim it was a production car. Less than ten would make me skeptical, though. Furthermore, the Banks T/A was offered for sale at up to 1100HP and many from 500 to 750 HP were built, so I'd consider that production if Sledgehammer achieved production status. Based on HP figures I'd say Sledgehammer would be left behind in top speed by the 1100HP model. I haven't found documented evidence of the top speeds of his lesser cars, but here is a quote from Banks' site that talks about HIS Sledgehammer-equivalent T/A:'Having created the power for numerous land-speed and marine national and world champions, the name Gale Banks has earned legendary status in endurance racing. Banks Engineering owns the current records for World's Fastest Pickup Truck and World's Fastest Piston-engine Automobile. For 10 years, Banks held the unbroken record for World's Fastest Passenger Car, an 1800-hp twin-turbo Firebird that blistered the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1987 and took the championship. This "stock-body door-slammer with optional tilt-wheel, power windows and AM-FM with cassette" ran 287 miles an hour, burning nothing but straight gasoline.'

The McLaren isn't street legal most places, but maybe nobody would bother you with that after they calculated the speeding fine. Check out the Pro Street Nationals at Orlando Speed World for U.S. street legal cars that go fast AND quick.
