As I was sorting through some of my files, I stumbled upon this from a while ago. The MIT Wolk Gallery of the School of Architecture and Planning held an exhibit in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab and the Smart Cities Group called “Rethinking the Car.” What caught my eye in the brochure where there was a car drawn on a cocktail napkin and signed “Edge.”
Come to find out, MIT Professor William Mitchell had involved Edge in some of the concepts of the exhibit. Professor Mitchell said, “We had some early brainstorming sessions on the project in which a variety of people participated, including The Edge. To show something of the process, we included a few of the early napkin sketches.”
I’d have Edge on my Pictionary team anytime!
Some might remember that both Edge and Bono have been involved with the MIT Media Lab in the past, serving on the Board of Directors for the now disbanded Media Lab Europe.

Scroll down about half the page to see this beauty getting towed.
FWIW, I think Ford is coming out with a car (or small SUV) called “Edge” soon….
