Toronto Auto Show 2005
On Friday, Dad & I made our annual trip to the Toronto Auto Show. It was a great time as always, and this year I had a digital camera to capture some of the snazzier cars. Most impressive car of the show? Definetly the Toyota Prius. Toyota is doing some fantastic things with their hybrid program. BMW has also got some exciting stuff going on with their hydrogen fuel program. They've committed to having a hydrogen ready vehicle commercially available before 2009.

Washington Post: "...Today's automobiles are packed with about a thousand times as much computing power as was in the Apollo moon landers, according to the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. Computer chips run more than 86 percent of the systems in an average vehicle, according to the alliance...."
This doesn't impress me with today's autos, it makes me impressed with the Apollo astronauts. They flew to the moon & back using slide-rules! I am spoiled rotten.
