Apr 30, 2011 - Car manufacturers need to refrain from making modifications to the traditional cockpit. A joystick to steer? No. Just, no.

Nov 23, 2011 - This concept could change the entire business model of the auto industry and open this industry to many new companies with fresh visions of style, function, and safety (airbags vs something else). A fuel cell is NOT the only way to get a "skateboard" layout. There are several other types of engine systems that could create true "skateboard" systems. Crash criteria will need to be at least twice current 35 mph. New passive restraints and Airbags needed? Yes Massive opportunity...100 bil+

Nov 23, 2011 - What happens when an 80,000 lb truck hits a 1100 skateboard car at 35 mph? It is like hitting a wall at nearly 70 mph. When cars become very light weight, the safety requirements must double current standards from 35 mph to 70 mph. How can current airbag and seatbelt technology meet this new need? The front of the car is critical to the safety of the occupants. But how? Cool designs that are unsafe will go nowhere. The real world will require new automotive safety products.

Nov 23, 2011 - If you can get 60% efficiency on Natural Gas (NG) at all times, an 1100 lb skateboard car with low drag could get 500 mpg city, 250 mpg highway. It could earn you over $8000/year by generating electricity to the grid with a 5.5 cent/kw-hr cost and 11cents/kw-hr grid income. (8000 hrs/y x 5.5 cents/kw-hr x 20 kw=$8,800/y)If it could do solar parking...double that 500 mpg to 1000 mpg. $1.00 NG at 1000 mpg is 1/10th of 1 cent or $0.001 cent/mile. Road tax is about 2 cents/mile. Fuel=free

Dec 13, 2011 - The intro for this video is funny. What if cars were free, what if your car ran on magic, what if cars didn't exist and you could teleport to your destination, what if you could teleport without even wanting to teleport? Lol wtf.

Mar 24, 2012 - There maybe nanotechnology that could act like a large airbag that surrounds you and absorbs most of the shock and it will also create a lower level of force on the body so that organs are not damaged. There is many petrol cars out there that are not any safer than this concept car.

seaplaneguy1 Says:

Mar 25, 2012 - I actually made a proposal to the largest airbag manufacturer (Autoliv) during lunch at Olive Garden not too long ago. They looked at me like dear in the headlights. Not a clue. Airbags are NOT designed correctly. Yes, I have 4 patents on airbags and have done sensors too with Porsche and most Euro companies. My questions are to get people to realize that current car safety is the probability of hitting a lighter car and that even a SUV driver is dead when a fully loaded truck hits.
