Breakdown of a car.

and not the bad kind that leaves you urinating in a hedge in full view of the m25.

This is the worlds most normal average car. Voted by top gear to be the best 'everyman's automobile' the ford mondeo is the best example i could look at for the functional breakdown of a car.

Functional Features
4 wheels
3 mirrors
front and side and rear windows
headlights, hazzard lights and indicators
vents for engine cooling
handles for opporating doors
locking mechanism
4 doors, 1 boot door
boot space for storage/cargo transport
5 seats (including driver's)
steering device (wheel)
breaking and gear change
gears
seatbelts
ariel for receiving transmission
theft alarm
input for key
arm rests/handles
window controls
aircon + controls for.
bumpers
licence plate
dashboard
glove compartment storage
cigerete lighter


But i do not want to stop here. As this is an Apple car, who have a firm standing in the internet technologies, i would also like to include items such as:
Bluetooth connectablility
myfi
all inputs for audio/video
gps
onboard computer
surround sound system
tinted back lit winscreen with display
food and beverage storage/stands
touch and gesture based driving
inovative steering control
onscreen stats
biometric scanner
cellular transmiter
internet capabillities

Also for the sake of it being Apple, i may investigate having this as an electric car. Electric cars are essentially rubbish at the moment, needing 8 hours charging time for every 80 miles they do, however apple has always been ahead of competitor devices with their batteries lasting double or even triple in some cases of those of the competitor's.

The next thing i plan to do is to use this break down to find the most functional ways of achieving all of these aspects in my car.
