Infrared headlights, joysticks instead of steering wheels, engine tune-ups via modem: this Science Screen Report showcases the rapidly changing field of car design. Looking at the dominant role of digital technology in automotive engineering and testing, the program demonstrates that computers are becoming more than tools-in some cases, they actually generate ideas and give feedback. Other concepts featured include alternative car power sources, groundbreaking forms of highway monitoring and maintenance, and the intersection of the automotive and aerospace industries.
