Reinventing the Automobile

The content is intelligent, well laid out, entertaining, understandable, and approachable...Often, works about the future of the automobile industry are just tools to express idealistic beliefs or anti-industry sentiments. This book is refreshing because the authors understand the whole package in terms of current problems, and their solutions, and succinctly present a glimpse of a future (and a present) that people can feel good about.—Choice— It isn't technological barriers so much as closed minds that are holding back the necessary evolution of the automobile; using calm and devastatingly inarguable logic, this is a virtual step-by-step manual that deploys an original idea on every page to show exactly how it can and should be achieved. If you care about cars, read this book: it opens your mind and lets the future in. —Bruce McCall, artist and writer, The New Yorker— Visionary in its totality, it is also soberly realistic. —Peter D. Norton, Metascience— Presents a fascinating and challenging model of technological possibilities. —Martin Wachs, Issues in Science and Technology—
