Don’t you just love concepts that have been turned into reality because of one man’s (or a team’s collective) vision? Well, I guess the people behind Nissan’s Renault Twizy-based New Mobility Concept can be proud and lift their heads up high – considering their urban electric vehicle that was originally unveiled in November last year is about to be unleashed upon the roads in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Just yesterday, Nissan announced that seven electric Mobility Concepts will start to make their way across public streets in and around Yokohama, Japan, where they will play an important role in Nissan’s urban mobility trial. While the maiden batch of Mobility Concepts will arrive on October 15th, expect the second phase to kick off slightly more than a month after that – on November 17th.

If you happen to be in Japan after November 17th, you might want to make a bee line for the Mobility Concept as that is when local residents and tourists alike will be able to get behind the controls of this two seater on public roads – hopefully without running into any accidents, of course.

This zero-emissions vehicle has a top speed of 50 miles per hour, and measures a mere 7.7 feet in length to make parking in tight spots (something urban commuters can identify with) a snap.

You know when it comes to driving, those who are in front of you are driving too slow, while the person flashing you constantly from the back is a maniac who does not know the meaning of driving recklessly. Well, perhaps you might want to arm yourself with a car horn that will be the envy of even truckers – with this particular car honk mod which is capable of shaking up even the most seasoned truckers. This multi-car horn emulator will sound like more than few cars blaring their horns simultaneously, and this project is cobbled together thanks to cheap Harbor Freight tools air horns. The mod will introduce a couple of buttons on your dashboard, where pressing them together will emit a blast that even an elephant would be proud of. Check out a video of this mod in action after the jump.

Ready for His Digital Close-Up: The NYT's Media Dude, David Carr, Talks About "Page One"

While I was in Los Angeles recently, I was invited to a private screening of a documentary about the New York Times called “Page One: Inside the New York Times.”

The film, which debuted at the most recent Sundance Film Festival, opens Friday.

The documentary is by Andrew Rossi, who spent a year following reporters and editors at the famed newspaper, even as the media landscape shifted dramatically due to the impact of digital technologies.

Luckily for me, one of the movie’s principal characters — and I do mean character when it comes to him — is the Times’ quirky media columnist, David Carr.

I met Carr a dog’s age ago, when he ran “The City Paper” in Washington, D.C. He has only gotten more interesting over time, especially as the Web has transformed the news business.

Actually, wrecked the news business seems more the sensibility of “Page One” and also the audience at the screening, which largely bemoaned the troubles that quality papers have gotten themselves into in the age of the Internet.

Of course, the situation at the Times is a lot more complicated than that and there are some significant benefits to readers in the new paradigm, even if it did not help traditional media.

Carr winks and nods to both sides of the debate in the film — his attack on Web bad boy Michael Wolff over aggregation is priceless, even though he clearly loves the Internet’s thrilling possibilities, too.

As I have previously written, what is probably most interesting is that many of the stories covered by the Times in the film are about the technological forces that have put it and other traditional media organizations through the digital ringer in recent years.

Here’s the video of my interview with Carr — please, as I tried to, ignore his rant at the start about the Times’ failed talent raid on a defenseless little tech blog site! — as well as an exclusive clip and the trailer for the movie:
