    The perfect car for white silhouettes that aren't really people.


    God, just looking at it, I found myself enveloped in some kind of Orwell-ian 1984 nightmare, damned to have one of these fucking things.


    Next thing you know we'll all be on Triton City with these fucking things.

    I agree with your thesis, Peter O.


    It's long been my claim that everyone driving a semi-generic people mover might as well be driving the most fuel-efficient people mover they can get their hands on.


    While we're at it, we can separate people-moving from driving.

    @Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer: It's more sexist than racist. Clearly, the misogynist designers at Peugeot portray women as a blank slate upon which they can inflict their utopian vision of a society filled with ugly robotic people movers.

    I was going to say that I like my women like I do my slate: blank, dumb as a rock, and easy to wipe clean when I'm done.


    It's just a joke; I don't really mean it.


    In truth, I like my women the way I like my sandwiches: hot and simple.

    I see this as a slippery slope. Sure, great for people who don't like driving, and I still have the option of driving my own car if I want, so say the powers that be. Saves gas, cuts down congestion.


    Soon enough, they decide that I too should be using one of these, and next thing you know, I am stripped of my car and confined to this pod.


    Personally I don't want it. Take these dreamers to Disneyworld and let them ride the monorail.

    But will the transportation pods still take on the characteristics of their manufacturers? BMWpods would be programmed to follow other pods closely, and cut them off without warning. Toyotapods will travel about 10mph slower than all the other pods. Jaguarpods would be appointed like a proper British lounge, but wouldn't work unless it was sunny and 68 degrees.

    Peter sounds like he's looking for the silver lining. The good that can come from the inane. The half-full glass in a half-empty world. He see's the forest for the trees, and chooses to make lemonade from the lemons of life.


    I guess that's why we like him.

    @engineerd hates hydrogen leaks: I kind of agree with Peter on this one - the concept, at least in theory, allows the privacy and freedom of mobility that turns most people off public transit, while taking the human (re. dumbass) element out of controlling traffic flow. And then environmental friendliness, fewer Toyota Camrys, saving gas for those of us that really want to use it, etc.

    Unlike its live ancestors in the heydays of the Roman Empire which fed on Christians


    At least before the era of Constantine and his Opel, which used to be parked in Istanbul, but there was that one time he swerved to avoid a puppy...Why did Constantine's Opel never work? That's nobody's business but the Turks.

    This is just one of dozens of possible kinetic capture systems. They need to be explored, as it may be possible to obtain efficiencies superior to battery hybrids. So what you have here is supplementary to current hybrid tech. It's best to view it in the evolutionary sense. At times of ecosystem stress, there will be a large radiation of alternate competing designs, each seeking to derive some advantage over the other. Eventually, one or two of those designs will obviously have the competitive advantage, and the less efficient designs will fade. We are currently in the radition phase of a design paradigm shift. It's actually really cool being alive at this point in history, to see how it's all going to shake out.
