EDAG shows light-car prototype

Back in January we first heard of the EDAG 'light-car' concept. The car (which they call Light-Car-Open-Source, or LC-OS) will have OLED taillights, 'body' lights and also an OLED dashboard. The idea is that everything is configurable - you can change the look of the car and your dashboard (just like you can change your desktop), and also display custom 'signs' on the rear window.

Today EDAG showed another prototype, in the motor show at Geneva. They don't actually plan to produce this car, but to share their technology and concept with car makers.

The car will be built from Basalt Fiber (recycled materials), and will have an electric drive.

EDAG has an interesting web site. This whole project seems rather ambitious... They hope to actually kick-start their project by April 2009. I'm not sure but they seem to want to have a 'working' prototype by 2010...
