A nice idea, most probably doomed to be marginalized in some way or another due to
big oil and corporate influence. I actually like the electric vehicle idea that
Riversimple worked on (same possibility of overbearing corporate influence here as well). Try looking at Edwin Blacks book “internal combustion” to get an idea of what
i am talking about. Electric cars have been around as long as internal combustion engined cars and with proper development can be as good as or better than fuel burners. Still the open source development model for a car is a start, too bad it isn’t as cheap to run as open source software Though.

It’s an innovative idea that just might take off like a rocket, considering the world economy now. I just hope they don’t loose sight of “KISS” or it’ll flop big time. Todays automotive industry is so bogged down with gadgetry that something like the Model T is sorely needed to turn it around.
