  3. Well, in less than 10 years it will be museum artifacts when electric vehicles will be dominant. It is truly fascinating that people still consider buying a vehicle that in general stands idle 96% of the time, is polluting the environment, is noisy etc.

    How many components from a fossile-fueled vehicle remains in an electric? Take a guess.

  5. http://trumpetb.net/loco/rodsr.html -- animation of a steam locomotive reversing mechanism, similarly hypnotic (at least to me.)

  6. As long as you have a licence and training to run it - and you pay for the carbon-emission footprint for running it...

    ...and if you put the motor in a vehicle - your insurance company would on top of that demand you use a self-driving version since the insurance would be painfully higher since you are putting other humans into a higher risk than letting a computer run it.

    A little too warm and fuzzy is unfortunately the state of our entire planet.

    ...sitting in a self-driving electric vehicle sharing a completely silent moment with my new friends heading home after a night out in the city - watching the Stella Polaris through the glass roof shining bright above us. I feel warm and fuzzy with my new friend in my arms...

  7. My cortex likes engines...end of the story.
    While I am all for the eco vehicles...I'd rather ride my bike, after all gluteus maximus would love it ;)
