Check out this car of the future made by GM.
There is only one of its kind and it costs 5,000,000 pounds.
Runs on hydrogen and seawater which generates enough electric power to power a house, or something like that. All this technology is a but above my head.

Re: Car Of The Future
That is pretty damn cool - good to know companies are finally seriouslly working on these alternatives. In the meantime however, I do very much like this car. http://teslamotors.com/index.php?js_enabled=1
Its completely electric (and can have solar panels installed for recharging) yet it has the acceleration of a ferrari.

Re: Car Of The Future
Both are very cool cars. I just showed them to my kid, who is 15 and chomping at the bit to drive. He can't wait to drive one of those babies!!

Petrol companies will shit themselves when people start using fuel alternatives.

Re: Car Of The Future
It's great that they are able to find fuel alternatives. But WHY do all ''future cars'' have to look like shit? Why can't they just be normal cars fueled on seawater( that's what the first car is fueled on )?

Looking forward to that, altough I'd say the world economy will suffer as well.Doin wrote:Petrol companies will shit themselves when people start using fuel alternatives.

Re: Car Of The Future
I suppose economies will have to suffer (usually just a small amount) because we have to find clean alternatives - we have no choice now. We've managed to fuck this planet and it seems we now need a way out.

Re: Car Of The Future
I bet all the big oil companies already own the fuel alternatives, and when the resources run out, they can just make the switch, and make their profits in the new stuff. A lot of alternatives which have come up have been supressed and put aside by the big companies.Doin wrote:Petrol companies will shit themselves when people start using fuel alternatives.

Re: Car Of The Future
Yeah they have, and just before the oil runs out (which on current usage isn't that long I had heard about 30 years), they will start introducing them. Over the next few years you see all sorts of stuff coming out.CreepingDave wrote:I bet all the big oil companies already own the fuel alternatives, and when the resources run out, they can just make the switch, and make their profits in the new stuff.
