EDAG’s Light Car is poised to be a big hit at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. This electric car can go 150km on a single charge, and is made of a lightweight basalt fiber (which is similar to carbon fiber or fiberglass) that is 100% recyclable. It gets its name from a unusual but potentially useful feature. A large portion of the cars body is covered in OLED lights which can be configured in a number of ways to communicate messages to other drivers beyond the standard brake and turn signals. Watch the promotional video on EDAG’s site for a more robust demo of this technology. Of course, this is a concept design, and it remains to be seen when it could hit mainstream production.

Good to see car manufacturers are getting right out of the box, will be fascinating to see what actually hits the road.
