June 20, 2013
If you're like me, you can't get enough of TED Talks - the "Ideas Worth Spreading" videos that have taken the internet by storm. Since there are TED Talks on subjects as diverse as urban gardening, spoken word poetry and inventing an accurate early detection test for pancreatic cancer, it should come as no surprise that there are some very cool TED Talks about cars and driving.
Here are five of the coolest TED Talks about cars:
