The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
The only thing I know about Daihatsu is that they were one of the few car companies that made the 85 hyundai excel look like a good car.
In this part of Europe, Diahatsu has been taken over by Chevy and all the models have been rebadged with the Chevy one.
Maybe Chevy will be getting the hologram thingy soon enough as well.
Ford got Volvo but I dont see much of their technology applied on Fords.
So I dont really think much technologies will deploy on those chevy.
Besides we all know Daihatsu is a part of Toyota
I think you mean Daewoo!!
I'll believe it when I see it: we've been promised stuff like this since the late 1970's. This can be filed alongside holidays on the moon, robot servants and food in a pill.
Don't worry, we're getting there. Big Macs are getting smaller and my Roomba picks up the crumbs that fall down when I'm eating it. Still it is a pity this is not happening on the moon.
How does this differ from the HUDs currently on offer by high-end manufacturers? It sounds either identical, or less useful. Am I missing the point?
Also, my Toyota Yaris claims to have a 'holographic' dash display. In reality, it's nothing more than a load of LEDs and a mirror, retro-arcade style. It hasn't improved my life in the slightest.
I'm curious to see what the current HUDs look like. Could you give me the name of one of the manufacturers that use them now. This will help me start my search.
Thanks in advance.
Plenty of people are doing it - just google around. Here's what 2 minutes found:
Corvette: http://wheeltalk.fancal.net/?p=577
BMW: http://www.motorauthority.com/cars/bmw/next-generation-hud-from-bmw/
I'm certain that Mercedes, Citroen, Nissan (in 1989), Oldsmobile (in 1992) and others also use this tech. Finally, heres a video of a kit which can be retro-fitted to your car, the DEFI HUD:

Enjoy!
Go away.
Apparently Diahutsu have incorporated some amazing new technology that can holographically morph yellow caps on to anyone so much as looking at the new dash.
Not sure if this is the exact same thing as they don't show any pictures or videos of the actual display (that was the most worthless gallery I have ever seen), but I saw the exact same thing, a 3d touch controlled holographic dash, at the Toyota Showroom/theme park in Odaiba, Tokyo. This was 2 years ago, and you could sit in the dash model and use the interface.
I uploaded a video that I took of the dash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y_IqogjJA8.
Who's Idea was it not to show a picture of the dash? Stupid!!!!!!!!!
Yeah my bad, I do have pics just not video. It was in a prototype bench thing and not an actual car, so it really didn't look like dash, just like a box with the screen, not very impressive.
Oh sorry, thought you were referring to my video. Anyhow yeah the gallery sucks.
lame, my dash is at leas 4D
The Daihatsu Charade... They got *that* name right.
Daihatsus are actually making some really neat cars in Japan, albeit Kei-cars mostly. They're making modern cars with really stylish "retro 60's" looks, with consoles that only now the north american market is adapting in their lincolns and cadillacs.
I have no doubt that these new gauges are going to be amazing.
