According to foreign media reports, automobile manufacturers have developed a cup holder that will never spill drinks. In fact, BMW has developed the first cup holder that can heat or cool drinks, and the current X3, X5 or X7 models are equipped with the cup holder. Now, BMW has further designed the vehicle beverage container and built a cup holder with a gyroscope, which can keep the beverage in the cup without spilling. BMW vision m next concept car is equipped with the new cup holder. Vision m next is a sports car that combines 4-cylinder turbocharging with an unknown number of motors, with a maximum horsepower of 600 HP, a maximum speed of 184 mph, and a range of 62 miles (99.78 km), enough for owners to get to and from the grocery store without consuming a drop of gasoline. In addition, the vehicle is full of all kinds of technology elements, such as memory foam seats and augmented reality head up display, as well as the cup rack. In fact, the technology used in the cup holder can be found in the UAV equipped with a camera. The gyroscope is used to keep the camera level and aim at the target. Now, the technology is also used in the cup holder. BMW designer Jose Alberto Casas PE ñ a said: "basically, if you put the cup on the cup holder, if you feel the car turning, the cup holder will push the cup to the other side, so that the drinks in the cup will not spill out and dirty the interior." In addition to the cup holder, Mr. PE ñ a said that the car is equipped with an augmented reality display that shows the heart rate of the driver and tells when he can press the accelerator key to get the maximum power. Basically, if the speed reaches 250 kph, the maximum power can be achieved. BMW's M division is expected to produce its own cars and may be based on the vision m next model. Only hope that if the car can not achieve mass production, at least the cup holder can achieve mass production.
