Tiny Computer Shown in MINI Convertible at Computex 2005
The Enquirer Reports on “World’s most dangerous Mini computer”
“ARE THEY CRAZY? Apparently engineers have fitted the world’s smallest computer, to a BMW Mini Cooper cabriolet. They apparently stole the car radio to get it in.

And just how dangerous. The PC is intended to be controlled by the driver. So he or she can use it to start a game that plays on head-rest mounted screens for the kids sitting in the rear seats.
