Future Watch: One Display, Three Images. No matter how big the vehicle, car designers barely have room for one LCD screen in the dashboard's center console. But what if the driver, front-seat passenger, and backseat passengers all want to view different content? Sharp has proposed a solution: the Triple View. The display works by using an optical parallax barrier, a technology that controls which pixels on the display are seen from the left, center, and right. Each viewer sees one-third of the display's pixels. Effectively, the driver could see navigation instructions, the front-seat passenger might see information on restaurants or tourist attractions, and passengers in the back (they don't have to be exactly centered) could see a movie.

Car Security at Your Fingertips. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a car is stolen every 26 seconds in America. SID Protect has adopted a different approach to theft prevention: The SID antitheft device uses biometric fingerprint technology to ensure that only authorized users can operate the vehicle. The car’s owner and up to 20 users can be stored on the device. The SID does not replace the ignition key, which a registered user must have to start the vehicle. But even if the key is stolen, the SID will keep your car safe and secure from nonregistered users.

Tune in to Digital Radio. Digital broadcasting and higher-definition signals are revolutionizing television. Can they do the same for another traditionally analog medium--the radio?. Radio is radio is radio. Right? The world first tuned in to FM in 1961, and terrestrial transmissions haven't changed much since. Though PCs followed Moore's Law, it seems radio technology had been grandfathered under some other statute and allowed to continue at its pedestrian pace—call it Winchell's Walk. And to be fair, there hasn't been much call for better radio. After all, traditional FM and AM signals work just fine. Sure, you can buy more advanced radios and tuners, but they're essentially the same technology.
