DETROIT--I have seen the car of the future, but it will only
go if you push it. The car, showcased at the Detroit Auto Show, is the ie:3 and
it's Johnson Controls' non-mobile platform of technology you are likely to see
on cars by 2015. How about a drop-in recharger bin for smart phones, speakers
integrated into the headliner and a fabric cover for the dashboard that allows
a great amount of storage in what is usually dead space.


Johnson Controls makes everything from the lead-acid Sears
Diehard batteries in many cars today to the lithium-ion pack in the S400 Mercedes Hybrid (through the Power Solutions division), and it also produces a
whole host of interior technologies with every major automaker as customers.
