FutureCar: The Skateboard

Ukulele Videos

What if the next car you buy will be the only car you ever have to buy again? What if you could have every model, every new improvement added to the car you own in a blink of an eye? What if you could sit where ever you wanted when you drove? What if you didn't need a steering wheel? But could navigate using a joystick or a mouse. And what if you never burned a single drop of gas wherever you went, because your car had no engine.

Whats holding them down is some very powerful organization. If they make this car that means the economy would fall. Think if you developped an engina that runs on water and air. They cant make money if cars go on water and air they wont let that happen.

yeah, but then you still need electricity to charge the car. It takes all night to charge a car, but only minutes to refill with hydrogen. Also, a hydrogen car can travel much further than an electric.

what i don't get is why its going to take them till 2030 to do something like this do they not already have the prototype built? whats holding them back why are they not giving us more info about how its progressing.

Agreed. However, being no scientist myself, I have to wonder, assuming a situation where everybody drives electric cars, just how this electricity is being generated that powers all of these cars. I think that one has to consider ALL energy usage (and its potential byproducts) from beginning to end, not just within the confines of vehicles themselves. What are truly the most renewable, energy efficient resources, including the methods with which they're harnessed?

I think this car idea would be better if it were electric. Hydrogen is another fuel source that will need to be produced. and it takes just as much power to produce as gasoline. So going hydro will just be a waste. Fully electric will eliminate any pump stations dependance and TOTAL emissions of any kind from vehicles. what's amazing is that the public doesn't understand this. We need electric cars that we can plug in at home, not another version of the gas combustion type. this car would ROCK!!
