EDAG has unveiled its Open Source Light Car concept, which uses OLED technology as both custom exterior lighting and as a safety-themed TV screen for drivers behind the car, at the Geneva Motor Show, Autoblog reports.

On the rear of the car, the OLEDs can be configured to show other vehicles how strong the car is braking, as well as alert other drivers to upcoming road conditions, such as construction zones, speed zones, or whether a pedestrian is crossing the road.

Other nice details: the lithium-ion-powered electric car employs in-wheel motors that save interior space. The car features a fully recyclable basalt fiber chassis, which is lighter and less expensive than aluminum or carbon fiber.

The report said that the car is an open-source effort, with EDAG taking the lead, but freely opening up the technology to outside developers for modification or enhancement.
