A new concept from the L.A. Auto Show.
Along with a group of other automakers, VW announced a crazy new concept at the show, dubbed the “Nanospyder”.
From Auto zone:
VW says this concept is “capable of being assembled, disassembled and reassembled on a microscopic level.” Billions of tiny nanomachines, no larger than a half a millimeter in diameter, attach to one another in a large assembly tank. This futuristic vehicle is able to sense impending collisions via sensor data. The nanomachines then strengthen or weaken their connections to one another to ensure the survival of passengers.
Whoa. This definatly sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, and I have to wonder if we’d see anything like this in the not too distant future. Still, it’s fun to hear makers talk about stuff like this.

Hahhahaha freakin’ awesome. So we’ll have this in the ‘09 model year, right?
I had my TDI retrofitted at the dealership the other day, it’s awesome.
