Default FUEL-CELLS = FUTURE cars, Hydrogen = future whatever you say about my stupidity

General Motors has established extensive hydrogen fuel cell research and
development facilities both in the U.S. and Europe. It has produced
AUTOnomy, a concept vehicle that captures the vision and potential of
hydrogen fuel cell technology, and the revolutionary Hy-wire, a vehicle
unmatched in both hydrogen and electronic technology.

The Hy-wire's fuel cell propulsion system is housed entirely in an 11-inch
thick skateboard-like chassis. By-wire controls attached to the chassis
through a single docking port use electrical signals instead of mechanical
links of hydraulics to control steering, acceleration and braking. Without
an engine, steering column or other conventional vehicle components, this
concept provides unprecedented design freedom.



500 GM people and similar numbers of FORD people are working to kill
gasoline in favor of hydrogen and rid our country from ever aggravating
Middlea-East oil dependency.

I must say GM makes more noise than Ford about their achievements but seems
it's Ford who already delievered practical results (Hybrds) and already
operates thousands of hydrogen vehicles in CA, FL, Michicgan, NY, etc for
the government fleets. My statement doesn't preclude a possibility GM is
hiding something until the time is right (when gas prices reach ridiculous
heights) and will release a revolution to take the lead over Ford, so in
meanwhile they dont want to lose capitalization/investements into current
gas engines.
