Coffee lovers everywhere may reconsider their next car purchase and opt for the Fiat 500L, which comes with a built-in coffee maker. There’s no need to rush to grab a coffee on your way to work with this car, as you can take your leisurely time getting there and just pop in an instant espresso pack.
The coffee rests in the center console for easy access. It definitely makes sense that Fiat is the first to come up with a real prototype considering the Italians love good coffee.
The question of safety has been coming up however, considering many car activities these days are being banned. One has to wonder if you’re not allowed to talk on a cell phone, should you really be making coffee while driving?
