Stand Craft Boat Is Just Too Good

OK this whole boat design thing is just getting ridiculous now:
"This sleek 166-foot superyacht comes with its own supercar, designed by Gray Design Studio to appeal to auto lovers. The Strand Craft 166 has the retractable flybridge and radar mast that retreat into the skin of the yacht when not in use. It has a hidden jacuzzi bar for entertaining up to eight guests. And the red leather and chrome interior holds five luxury double en-suite staterooms equipped with 52 inch TVs, state of the art sound systems and an iPad control and information center that allows you to activate any function from anywhere on the yacht."

Chris Burden Kinetic Sculpture

Artist, Chris Burden has created "Metropolis II", a kinetic sculpture consisting of 1200 Hot Wheels cars currently being constructed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Burden began to work in performance art in the early 1970s, he made a series of controversial performances in which the idea of personal danger as artistic expression was central.

His most well-known act from that time is perhaps the 1971 performance piece Shoot, in which he was shot in his left arm by an assistant from a distance of about five meters. Wow....

World's Smallest Car

Perry Watkins, car designer extrordanaire, has come up with his third record breaking design.
At just 41 inches high, 51 inches long and a seemingly impossible 26 inches wide it is officially the smallest car in the world.
The body comes from a repainted children's ride, while the chassis is borrowed from a Shanghai Shenke quad bike.
The mini car has enough power to compete with normal cars, with a top speed of 60kph (37mph).

Driverless Vans Reach China From Italy

Remember when Google's autonomous car did 1000 miles and everyone was impressed?

Back in July, a group of autonomous orange EVs from Vislab left Italy on a trip that would take them through cities like Moscow and wastelands like the Gobi Desert, all thanks to an array of laser scanners, cameras, and of course GPS.
It was a 13,000km journey (8,078 miles) that was made with minimal driver intervention and, thanks to the EV-nature of the vehicles, without stopping once for gasoline - though they were limited to about four hours of travel each day before having to recharge. They arrived in Shanghai on 28th October.
