Yea, it's pretty cool, but the "coupe" they designed using this same design over a year ago looked much better. I'm interested to see where the AUTONOMY concept turns up next [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

It appears GM's on a roll [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

so i guess this is the VR play station??? hehe

pretty cool idea, but you have to wonder what happens when you pass a field of high-tension cable towers, or any other source of serious EM waves. that is such a high risk for all the controls to fail. im sure theyre perfecting that and all, but i almost wrecked my car cause power brakes dont work with the car off...imagine nothing working. your fuel cells die on a downhill and you cant even steer the car or stop or anything.

but it is a cool idea of having interchangeable bodies, and the whole controller vs. steering wheel.

i wonder why no ones making alcohol powered cars (im being serious, its a legit alternative fuel). its clean, ralatively more safe than hydrogen, and its a perpetual form of power since you can make it from sugar and yeist...so you can never run out.
