<<All it takes is feedback and the proper algorithm.>> INTRODUCING THE GENERAL MOTORS 2027 ALGORITHM!! MOST EFFICIENT CAR EVER BUILT!! NO MORE GAS TANKS!! But will there be any customers left to buy it after the American left has driven the US into a deep deflationary recession by demagoging lies about "protecting" the Social Security fraud, and destroying the petroleum industry so that the Three-Legged-Turdroach can migrate across the interstate?...

Yes! The trick will be getting these things out the door -- if they are too efficient, folks may have to make them themselves, which is basically my plan (as a hobbyist only). I'm interested in different suspension as well. As we've seen with fuel cells, anything with interesting performance is impossible to get, publicity and promises in the press to the contrary. The quote I got for a home 10kw fuel cell was $75k, when it was supposed to be in the market by late last year for $5k to $10k. Entrepreneurs will have to get basic technology and assemble these things, to bypass as much market control as possible. Otherwise, the price will rise to value-based level, rather than cost-based.
