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."

This is just another report to boost stock value.

This is just another attempt to inspire stock investor confidence in new technology.

The investment community has been all a buzz about nanotech. Its the next selling point that crooked stock brokers are using to sell crappy stock to folks.

Its the same thing as the medical community releasing a story about a cancer cure being found every year. Its just a silly way to boost ones stock value.

Gotta love them corperations!

Well, the NON-"Anonymous Coward" who spent eight years in the Federal joint and who knows that Federal prisons are NOT "pound-me-in-the-ass" joints (at least if you're too old and unattractive to attract the sexual predators) once again writes in to request more objectivity and less stupidity in referencing the Federal prison system.

As for being a "dirty lawbreaker", I am PROUD (if not too impressed) to have robbed two banks in a (wasted) effort to overthrow your suck-ass "dictatorship of the morons" society.

Have a nice day. And I hope you get to occupy a cell some time - you seem like the type to need it.

One also hopes Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the other war criminals also get the opportunity once the UN refuses to pass the US exemption from war crimes rider - which is now a total joke given the mass murders and torture in Iraq.

Again, have a nice day.
