new car

What will a car look like in the days to come? Well, here is a new car. It is suppose to come out in 2036 and John Titor would be happy with this one. Hope they come out sooner. That would be one wild ride in an electric car.

Peak Oil

Jeremy Rifkin says that excessive oil prices cause our credit crisis. That may be so. However, peak oil is now. I predict major oil shortages in coming years. Stores have very few cars in their parking lot now. Sadly, many people are using the city bus instead of having a car. This does save money. However, I expect peak oil to affect bus fares soon.

Google creates car

Automated automobile can drive itself down motor ways. This is an interesting development as in - Google creates car. How in the future will this affect us? I predicted that in time lines without a big new war, automated automobile will become common. These cars are now rare. However, by 2030's should be common. Advances in artificial intelligence will make it possible to be affordable soon. There are some important insurance issues.

Chevy Volt vs Nissan Leaf

Talk about turning over a new leaf at nissan. OK more than the chevy volt, nissan leaf is an affordable electric car. How will it start on cold mornings? That is my worry. Well, you see, electric cars depend on a chemical reaction from the battery, and do not do well in cold weather, but like warm. Also, where does the energy come from to make the car warm. That could mean a reduction in mpg, or in the case of an electric car, it would be kilowatts/hours per kilometer or so.

Are electric cars the future?

Nissan has a new prototype it is working on. The nissan cube is an electric car for the US that will use lithium batteries as an alternative to expensive gasoline transportation.

Well, now some people are saying that where are we going to get all that electricity. I believe the answer is wind farms. Wind power and electric cars are the future.
