Honda’s Super New Speedo

honda ecological drive assist system01 Hondas Super New Speedo

Honda has come up with a very elegant addition to the concept of speedometer-ing:

Using color to indicate to users if their driving style is fuel efficient.

This looks bright enough to light up a fair bit of the cabin, so I imagine this would also be very useful as an indicator to users of their speed so the glow can be an indication to them even without have to look at the numbers.

The only nit I have to pick with this concept is that it glows blue when you’re being lead footed. Not sure if the color is all that suitable. I’d think red for planet destruction?
