Making satnav pay for itself
Thursday, June 4, 2009
OK, so satnav is the spawn of satan (vsatan!!) and should be avoided at all costs. But this little snippet reported by All Points shows a genuinely useful application, namely used GPS/map (aka satnav) to pre-cool a hybrid car prior to coming to a standstill at traffic lights ensuring that the engine stays off for the maximum amount of time. Reported fuel efficiency of 9% which in my books is pretty good. Roll on more innovative uses.
