Seems Mazda is going to be coming out with a new car (well, that’s not so shocking considering they are an auto manufacturer) that starting to make use of some common technology. Instead of a standard key, it uses a USB drive system. Although not in this post from OhGizmo!, I had read somewhere else that the USB key would hold the personal driving preferences for the driver as well: seat position, temperature, MP3 files, radio station presets.
? Advanced interior system using a USB stick key
? An ingenious rear seat morphing system
? Translucent plastic that disguises the head and rear lamps
? The glass roof itself is an extension of the front windshield
? Door handles are part of the side panels and rotate outwards when unlocked, then back into the body panel when the door is closed
