FutureCars is going to be an ongoing article about some of the stuff that I have found either on the net, in print, or on TV and bring it to you people. Someone might ask what is the future of cars going to be, and the best answer I would be able to give at this point is expect the unexpected. A physicist at Columbia University, Michio Kaku said “Right now there is a convergence of revolutionary technologies”, meaning that anything can and will happen.
Right now the biggest part of future cars is the billion dollar race for manufacturing, and design of future vehicles. How are the going to run, where are they going to take their design cues from, who’s going to be building them, and so forth. Have you ever considered what it would be like to drive a car that leaned into a corner, or had no steering wheel in the cockpit, what about an ultra-light vehicle weighing less than 1,000lbs.
 The one thing I do ask, while reading these articles challenge what you think about cars themselves. For the past 80 years cars have been built on the same basic design format, a box and 4 wheels. So I look forward to hearing your response to the FUTURECARS.

I’ve had a few of you write in and ask some questions, and I thought that I would take the opportunity and answer them for everybody. It is not often that one person has a question that is only unique to their situation, so here are some of the questions and my answers.
When you think Electric Vehicles (EV’s), and American Auto Makers do you think of Global Green Cars Inc.? If not you should, and probably will. In 2010 GGCI will have 3 models on the market that will be sold in most states (believe it or not the DMV in your state controls who can sell cars in your state). So here is some more of the question and answer session I had with President of GGCI, Brooks Agnew.
