Imagine the Googlemobile

The company that designed the G1 phone designs a driverless, electric car

The firm that designed the G1 phone, Mike and Maaike, have developed a concept electric car. OK, I admit that this has nothing to do with Google except in the one degree of separation. It might have more to do with Apple in that the car, dubbed the "atnmble," looks somewhat like an old-style Macintosh monitor. The designers also envision this car to be "driverless." So, while it is toting you around town, you can chat on your G1 or surf the Web.

The car isn't expected to come to life via any particular manufacturer, or perhaps at all, says the earth2tech blog on GigaOM. It is merely a concept offered as an idea for others wanting to design clean-energy transportation for real.

What do you think of this concept? How would a car like this look driving on the 101 toward the Googleplex in Mountain View? Can you see it?
