Yep, someone did install LCDs under their car so they could "watch videos while working under their car"

this thing is not for real = FAKE!

If you look at the last pic you could see a vga splitter with a blue cable running to the back of the wheel and you can see the blue cable to the front of the wheel.

Once you take the car off the rack = no more tv.

Yeah... looking closer it seems they might just be covers for the show that have LCDs in them. Makes sense.

The road to you-know-where is paved with "prototypes". Concept mockup maybe, but that's a LONG way from a prototype - none of the basic engineering is in evidence. OK, so you can hook up a screen to a video source and mount it in a wheel cover. If it doesn't have to turn, survive in bright sun, snow, water, and ice, it's a trade show display, not a product.

PressType on a piece of posterboard is just one step ahead of a crayon on a paper bag. Guys need some instruction in trade show marketing.
