Finally, a machine dispensing scalding liquids from your dashboard

In case you felt that Mitsubishi's idea of wraparound multimodal interfaces in cars wasn't going to be distracting enough, the Fiat 500L just announced its own entry in the "in-dash distractions" Olympics:

How often have you been on a long drive and wished that you had a hot shot of espresso to wake you up? Aside from the fact that spilling scalding coffee is a safety hazard, an extra appliance is a distraction, and drinking espresso will make you have to pee way more frequently, the concept of an in-car espresso maker sounds pretty good.

Fiat's 500L will be "the first standard-production car in the world to offer a true espresso coffee machine." The future is here, and it's highly caffeinated.

Awesome. For the record, this is how coffee should be enjoyed.
