Car companies are working to make their clients lazy, fat and least bit of practical.
Today we don't want to change our tyre even if it's once in a blue moon. Earlier we demanded for a power assisted steering and vacuum assisted brakes.
What's next? A car that does paraller parking on its own, coz the driver has spent most of his youth on his iffone and wasn't bothered to learn how to drive?
I ask you: what was wrong with hand crank anyway? Why did we need to invite the overly attached mistress of electricity to the party of our internal combustion mechanical beasts to mellow them out over the course of the century?
Look what's happened now. It’s not so hard to imagine that one day, a juvenile college student (not me, or was it?)came up with an idea of using a complex electro-magnetically levitating motors array to get rid tyres altogether. And then he’d suggest to use the very same system for stopping the vehicle. All in a car powered by fuel cell electricity.
What a lame future!
