In-car DriveMaster Pro nags you about killing nature


The DriveMaster Pro from Japanese manufacturer Hino is one of those products that's surely flying off the shelves, because who wouldn't want to pay good money for a device that sits on your dashboard and constantly reminds you that your driving style is so very environmentally unfriendly. Although once again our best efforts at machine translation are thwarted by in-graphic text, it seems that the DM Pro ships with a number of different sensors that are able to detect your speed, acceleration / deceleration, idle time, gear ratio, and emissions; if any of these metrics indicate that you could be outside the range of government-suggested levels, the info-packed display lets out audible and visual alerts that hopefully won't distract you enough to crash and kill a tree or something. No word on pricing, once again making it quite difficult for us foreigners to get our hands on the best Japanese gear.
