Breaking out of the transportation box
Is the battery really the future of the auto industry?
In my opinion the key to US energy independence, as well as a vibrant US auto industry, will be disruptive technologies. Consequently, something like auto-drive, I believe, offers the potential to change everything about transportation in ways we can barely imagine.
Of course, there are many other disruptive technologies out there as well, such as batteries, carbon fiber or photovoltaics. And recently, I’ve wondered more and more if hydraulics, particularly hydraulic fuel cell hybrids, could become a disruptive technology.
