'Your Car is Not a Cafe ~ ~ ~ Or Is It ~'

By: Rob Parker

"....They're in the center console, and have a switch to change the setting from “heat” to “cool..........new autos....."
It's a familiar occurrence: you're driving to work in the morning, listening to your iPod, and every other day seizure your coffee cup from the cup holder and seizure a swig, when the sip ends in a grimace. It's happened to everyone at one point or another, and if not cold coffee, than the reverse has happened, your once-refreshingly refresh water bottle has become tepid and unappealing consecutively just a few miles of sunny street. Why? Because the coffee's gone cold.

The 2007 Chrysler Sebring was the first to proposal heated and cup holders.

The interest piece of news is that car manufacturers also have this problem in their own cars, and some are seizure advantage of it to spark new designs in cup holders and glove boxes that don't quite go about your vehicle into a vending machine, but do give you the ability to keep hot drinks hot, and cold drinks cold, at least during the car is in reality running. These well-style cup holders also do a big job of making sure your beverage doesn't tip over or slosh out, and if you're not the coffee drinking type, you can also use the cup holder to warm a container of Campbell's Soup at Hand. They're in the center console, and have a switch to change the setting from “heat” to “cool.” (They also sport glowing lights that match the rest of the lament with dials, but that has no achieve on your coffee.) Heating tops out at 140 degrees F, during cooling drops your beverage temperature to a chilly 35. It is a section at the lower fore of the glove compartment that has been re-engineered to hold up to quadrate 12-ounce beverage cans, and keep them cold.

Slightly short of versatile is the Chill Zone now appearing on all 2008 Dodge Avengers and some Calibers, as well as a few Jeeps. Should we be encouraging the habit of eating the wheel, or should we be looking at laws enforcing DWE - driving whilst eating?

Insurance companies are only beginning to track food- and beverage-related accidents, but already they'll tell you that sipping coffee and operating a steering wheel at the same time twosided your chances of being in an accident, and some companies have created lists of dangerous foods, which includes items likely to spill and burn, as well as those that are only messy, and distract you from the road in order to hold the cleanliness of your clothing and upholstery. Dodge really did a survey as part of their planning for this feature, in which they determined that 26% of Americans don't use their glove box at all, let alone to bank gloves, so it seems like a logical niche to put an in-car cooler.

One has to wonder, however, if turn your car into a food warmer or drink cooler comes with a price. After all, if your drink or snack can maintain its temperature until you reach your destination, there's no reason to snack in the course of you steer. It's not surprising the coffee is the number-one item on such lists, but it may be interesting to dot that filled doughnuts are also considered a driving hazard, both behind the scenes they are sticky and they have a bias to glop jelly or cream when you bite into them.

The danger in eating in the car is as actual as that of using your cell phone the wheel, and there is no dearth of hands-free technology for phones, so maybe we should consider Chrysler's cup holders and Dodge's coolers as ersatz defense features.
