As Xzibit and West Coast Customs once revealed to us, there is absolutely no limit to the amount of entertainment technology you can fit inside a moving vehicle. And until now, those of us whose cars were not pimped out by MTV had to sit quietly by the wayside, hoping that someday a rapper would knock on their door and put a TV in their headrests.
Well, not anymore. For a fee, New Yorkers can now enjoy the fully pimped out experience from within a cab – the Car Force One. We’re talking plasma screens, Xbox 360s, Cable TV and two mobile printers. According to Car Force One founder and CEO Ishai, the company’s priority is customer satisfaction. “My company is not about the car, it’s about the service. It’s for the clients.”
Ishai, who has been a cab driver since 2009, modified his cars himself – and is heading to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to get more stuff. “I believe it’s the most equipped car in the world, the most luxurious car.” Indeed it is, Mr. Ishai, just have a look at the list:
Comfort:
- Chargers for iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, Samsung and BlackBerry phones on every side/seat
- Remote controls throughout car to adjust lighting on/off and dimming
- Phone holders near charging cables on sides of car
- Mobile “bathroom,” as a client called it, side dock with: Victoria’s Secret lotions and colognes, hand sanitizers, Wet Ones to go and Kleenex to go
- 3 coolers (2 for now) that serve as mini-bars, offering cold drinks such as: bottled water, orange juice, apple juice, Diet Coke, Sprite, Coors Light and Plans to add fruit salad cups
- Mobile baby station with: bottle warmer, baby wipes warmer and paper towels
- 2 full-size umbrellas, adding 2 smaller ones
- Infant and toddler car seats and boosters
- First-aid kit, emergency seat belt cutter, window breaker, fire extinguisher
Multimedia:
- 23-inch full HD 1920 x 1080p monitor that’s hooked up for 5 different uses: Internet, Blu-ray movies, live cable TV, gaming console and pictures and videos from SD card reader
- Gaming console (Xbox 360 for now, he has already ordered PS4)
- Live cable TV (Time Warner) with premium channels such as Disney and HBO
- 2 headrest monitors hooked up to Blu-ray player
- More than 200 titles of Blu- ray movies in a 2TB hard drive, an additional 30 titles for kids
- Up-to-date magazines and newspapers
Office:
- Fully functioning laptop hooked up to 23-inch monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse
- 4G Wi-Fi that clients can connect to on their own devices
- 3 mobile printers: 4 x 6 photo printer, an all-in-one scanner/printer, an HP OfficeJet printer
- Adjustable table as a writing surface that holds the keyboard and mouse
- SD card reader for memory card file transfer
Mind-boggling. The only logical conclusion that we can make from this is that minibus-taxis would have a whole lot more space for cool tech. Just saying.
