A car that is a skateboard....Or at least modeled after one.
YouTube - FutureCar: The Skateboard
I didn't really know where to place this. Car gurus? or skateboarding?

[Clayton or die]

that's pretty interesting and i really like how customizable it is. All i'm wating for now is the price...

[king]

thing that would sketch me out a bit though is how its so reliant on computers and stuff, like they mentioned being able to download upgrades and stuff but whos to say some crazy fuck wont send your car a virus that sends you off a cliff or something

[Smokesletsgo]

^hahaha. Yeah, I'm not getting one

[Scoffman]

well probably be in our 50's by the time it comes out anyways haha

[Ryder]

Haha that's badass

[K 3 R R Y]

lol, it doesn't really look like a skateboard that much.

I've seen this a while ago, I hope something comes around to rid the world of fossil fuel reliant vehicles.

[Scoffman]

Closest thing relating to a skateboard coming from a car.

Thats insane, I cant wait for the future of cars

thats sick! too bad they're using fuel cells. Battery power is the way to go and it bums me out that the federal government wont fund it (well, the used to in the 90's, but then the fuel cell became more superior).

So in the blink of an eye you have a new car frame and its taking the oxygen out of the air and converting it to carbon dioxide ... almost seems like disaster waiting to happen

[zibafu]

saw it ages ago, actually forgot about it, its an interesting idea but calling it the skateboard will just mean that not many people will take it seriously, its interesting that they can call it that anyhow, cause that means the skateboard isnt a patented product :o

yeah its an interesting idea, but im not aure how keen i am on it being so reliant on computers as they tend to screw up a lot. Then again, saying that i guess mechanical cars also screw up a lot too.

it taking oxygen and making water.

Thing is its not really emissions free because of all of the energy used in obtaining the hydrogen, transporting it, compressing it, cooling it etc.

I was expecting a car with a steering system like skateboard trucks.

Battery power? As in electricity? Which is still funded by fossil fuels to create it. When they say fuel cells they are talking hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen is abundant and the only waste product is water. Which can have the hydrogen extracted and used again. What's so bad about it?

Im not even gonna lie I'm still a neophyte when it comes to the subject of alternative energy. I suggest watching "Who Killed the Electric Car". Once you get past the california hippie bullshit it's actually quite fascinating.
