BMW announces G-force tech
New Force Injection technology to revolutionise driving with artificial G-forcesWith the impending arrival of its i8 hybrid sports car and development of advanced infotainment technology, German prestige car maker BMW has announced its latest technological triumph, dubbed Force Injection Booster.
The new Force Injection Booster, or FIB, will be offered in upcoming BMW vehicles in the next few years, and features a "patented artificial G-force technology" that essentially makes the car feel fast while driving slow.
The FIB's potential for improving safety is huge, with hoons and hooligans able to get their adrenaline hit at low speed.
Drivers can activate the system at speeds of under 32km/h, and it works by "extracting kinetic energy from the car's engine and converting it into positive G-forces" says BMW.
Latent inertial G-force energy is then transferred to occupants via the air conditioning vents, which is combined with an electric current to stimulate exhilaration.
BMW's head of innovation, Professor Mika Notbetrü, says the new Force Injection Booster technology is "Mindblowingly unbelievable".
It also features a new occupant vanity preservation system called BMW AirNet, which protects clothes and hair from the extreme effects of the new system.
The well-groomed staff at motoring.com.au are keen to try out the new system.
