    Did anyone read this in yesterday’s UT? It’s a three-wheeled electric car that looks like something Jane Jetson would drive – I dunno…I just cant see someone tooling down the 5 in this contraption:

    Reservation #2024 here 🙂 Still undecided on hybrid vs. electric (was planning for hybrid, but now that it’s been pushed back to 2010, not sure any more …)

    For the EE people on here I see that they’re hiring an EE (MSEE or BSEE + 10 years). That co. isn’t publicly traded but I can see it taking off. Get in there pre-IPO as a EE, get some ownership and boy howdy you’ve gotten rich while helping the environment.

    I would go for it but don’t have any experience designing vehicular EE systems… If only they wanted a wireless comm guy!

    good grief. the obsession of some nerds with sci fi and robotech…

    is it really that difficult to simply produce *normal* vehicles that are electric/hybrid powered? as simple as a motorized bicycle to a battery powered vw? where are the PRACTICAL engineers shoehorning electric systems into existing platforms? do we really needs vehicles that look like insects, have no trunk space or rearward visibility?

    are three wheel systems really necessary? or is drifting a battery powered go cart the main goal here?
