A year or so after the gasoline-powered onboard battery-charged cars (not a hybrid - no mech linkage from engine to wheels; not a loco - serious battery component) are released, I foresee a sneaky little change where they introduce a streamlined version of the cars where they have quietly eliminated the E part and reduced the weight and price. They will have to come up with a snazzy name for this.
What I want is a multifuel car or truck with open source computing, software, data for all milled molds and parts; maximum use of generic hardware and software; generic open specs for everything; bonded guarantee of parts and software back-compatibility for 25 years; price quoted in gold ounces.
Soon, automobiles and trucks will be 3-D Printed right in your driveway..................
Include data (not just specifications but detailed instructions like a patent would have) for stamped parts. Simply all information for all parts, like a patent would have. Maybe it could all be patented, but licensing would have to be easily affordable.
