Not since the early days of the auto industry have so many innovative cars been in development.
Environmental concerns – air quality, global warming – and technology advances –
computer-regulated engines, battery breakthroughs – are bringing the best out of an industry that
has always attracted inventors and dreamers.
Large auto manufacturers are finally putting their energies and dollars into cars that economize
fuel consumption, eliminate tailpipe emmissions, and rely on renewable power sources.
Entrepreneurs and engineers are finding new markets for products that once seemed destined for the
"concept car" circuit: long-lasting batteries, laser-guided driver aids, and even flying cars.
At the governmental level, tax incentives and public sector investment are making it easier to
participate in the transportation revolution. From Washington D.C. to Beijing to Mumbai to Paris
people are driving and developing alternative-fuel cars, motorcycles, scooters, and transportation systems.
