"Straddling" bus
This is quite possibly one of the most innovative designs ever...in my opinion! It's a bus/light-rail system designed in China that is shaped like a tunnel so it can pass over traffic, or traffic can pass under it when it's stopped at a station. They have thought of everything when designing it....if a car under it gets too near to the sides it sounds a warning, if a truck that is too high to fit under it approaches it warns the driver, if it's in an accident all the sides open up and form slides as escape routes, they've designed for it to be boarded and alighted from either the sides or from the top...the list goes on!
Check out the video here (it is in Chinese but there's a translation and it shows you all the ideas)

Things we may be using in 40 years!
The 2010 edition of the Electrolux Design Lab competition focuses on creative solutions for compact living. The 2010 brief asked industrial design students to consider how people will prepare and store food, wash clothes, and do dishes in the homes of 2050, when 74% of the global population are predicted to live in an urban environment. Here are eight concepts that provide a glimpse of the future.

Centenary Sculptures
Both Audi and Alfa Romeo had centenary scultures at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Sussex at the weekend. Both follow the same theme of a loop joining an iconic car from their past and present.
