More on GM's New Fuel Cell Cars

Posted by michael on from the parallel-parking-skills-soon-to-be-obsolete dept.

Whispers_in_the_dark writes "Scientific American has an article about GM's approach to fuel cell based vehicles of the future. It appears that GM wants to build a common fuel cell based drive-by-wire chassis that it will mount the body panels, control systems, and passenger compartments. This would provide a great deal of flexibility and upgradability to the cars of the future. GM has even more details."

      obviously by 2005, GM will be producing SUVs which *can* fit entire farms in the passenger compartment :-)

      You know Quasimoto predicted all of this.


      I think you mean Nostradamus. Quasimodo did come up with the rear spoiler, though.
