Then they&#39;re just silly. </span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">But that&#39;s kind of the idea behind EBall, a strange, &quot;hey-look-at-this&quot; promotion for the Smart ED that was held in Germany last year. Footage from the games was just put together to show the world that <strong>you can, in fact, play pong with the all-electric version of the Fortwo</strong>. </span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Two driver participants from the crowd were allowed into the game at a time. Flanked by spectators – Smart claims over a half-million people watched 3,000 games during the Frankfurt Motor Show – the drivers went back and forth, controlling little Fortwo-shaped paddles on a giant screen with the car itself. The idea is kind of cool and certainly garnered some attention, but we&#39;ll be much more interested when we can play Mario Kart with one of these things.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"></p><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDusidt8u60">www.youtube.com/watch</a></span><p style="margin:0;"></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">Source: <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://devour.com/video/smart-pong/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Devour</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: electric, eball, video, electric_drive_vehicles, ev, car, Technology, electric_vehicles, smart, automotive, electric_car, cars, games, electric_vechicles, auto, innovation, ed</div>
