Classic Toyota - A Glass of Water
 
Takumi Fujiwara challenge, don't spill the water!
They've made it into an iphone app to help drivers with their fuel consumption. http://www.aglassofwater.org/en by Toyota

Here's a video: [ame="http://vimeo.com/55024675"]Flock Associates - Toyota - A glass of water on Vimeo[/ame]

Needs a phone holder that fits in the cup holder. Sheesh.

Just more of that Toyota "racing heritage" shining through...

Build some exciting cars? Nah...
Start a campaign to try and get people to drive like their piloting a glacier? Yeah! That's the ticket!

Golly...thanks Toyota!

2 thoughts come to my mind:
This scenario: "Sorry I hit you man. I was paying attention to my iphone app instead of the road. Luckily, I was only going 5 mph"

And this theory: Some people have self control. Some don't. An iphone app isn't going to change this. Maybe you'll drive "eco-friendly" for a day but it wont last. Unfortunately, not having self control comes with a price. That's just the way life is.

I see it as a good sense of humor, actually I remember when the FT86 Concept or was it the the GT86 first came out, I remember they put a photo of a glass of water inside the car. lol.

Great doc by the way, series of 3 with the first being Stirling Moss and Patrick Stewart.

The way I drive, the glass of water/iPhone would wind up in the trunk.
