Global Electric Motorcars (GEM) is a green car powered by open source software.

Each Blobject car comes with a touch-screen computer system mounted in the dash. Through a USB port, you can plug in a flash drive containing information on Cordoba in Spanish, English or French.
By using GPS technology, the computer keeps track of exactly where you are in the city.
When you pass a certain landmark, the computer then knows to display the appropriate text, audio and video information about that landmark on the screen.
The computer system is based on open source software developed by a company in Seville, Spain. As with any open source software, anyone can improve and change Blobject’s code, as long as those improvements and changes are shared with others.
