Ringtones for cars (horn tunes) win award at CES
According to The Inquirer, the gentleman, who dreamt up the idea of adding ringtones to your car, won the first annual Design, Originality and CreativityD.O.C award at CES, Las Vegas.
"The objective with this invention is to provide a vehicle with a distinctive audible identification – just like a mobile phone’s ringtone. Indeed, there are plans to let users download voice files or MP3s so that they can truly personalize the device. So when you forget exactly where you parked your car in a multi-storey car park, you stand some chance of finding it again."
