Cars To Be Assembled Atom By Atom
Roland Piquepaille writes "In a new article, the Detroit News says that the adoption of nanotechnology by car manufacturers will produce safer, lighter and cheaper vehicles. While GM is already using nanocomposite materials for several vans, Ford is developing new nanoengineered catalysts to replace platinum. The newspaper gives other examples, such as auto-adaptive suspension systems, scratch-resistant paints or nanocoated windshields which will not crack. In fact, all parts in a car can be improved by using nanotechnology, according to the article. And if automakers are only going to introduce limited amounts of nanotechnology-related products in the next few years, their usage should be widespread within ten years. More details are available in this overview."

California is a notoriously terrible place to live (have to drive everywhere) and do business (tangled in red tape). It is geographically unique in that while its vast expanses of farmland are crushingly dull, its urban areas are even worse. Real cities don't have problems like these.
Except things like smoke and alcohol are organic and more "natural".
Mercury and HF acid are natural. Don't get any on you.
