    As this world races to keep up its health quotients, it is more often than not the thought of how lazy and comfortable it has become seeps into the mind. Toyota known to make such wonderful cars has come with this unique technology to its next generation Prius range. The new range will feature the option for you to cool the heat in your car by the time you reach your car. It is by using the car’s battery to power remote activation of the air-conditioner. Up to three minutes before you get in the car, the car will be cooled down so that you don’t feel a heat wave hit you by opening the door and getting in.


    The remote activation system is triggered by an A/C button on the key fob. The technology is combined with solar cells on the car’s roof that power a fan to discharge hot air from the car when it is parked. Through this you can save fuel and also enjoy the drive during the hot summers. Toyota has worked out that when combining the solar-powered ventilation (parked) with operating the remote air-conditioning system for just one minute, the Prius can reduce its in-car temperature by more than 40 per cent. Sounds like a plan but not real.
