With red/red they commonly are co-positioned - dual filament bulbs or, more recently, nested LEDs. Albern was arguing red/red is confusing, but even hillbillies in the US have no trouble figuring out the red/red system. All the other arguments presented have been nonsensical (invisible at...

They're not so much concerned about getting ROI as getting the hundreds of thousands of auto workers to vote for them rather than against them. The Chrysler bailout in the early 80s wasn't an investment, but an attempt to keep all those workers from suddenly becoming unemployed at once prior to...

That's a snap. You can already get remote "command start" modules - just hook the signal wire into your HVAC circuit so, when activated, it powers up the HVAC. In winter you'd have your HVAC set to heat/defrost and in summer to AC, so all you need is for the fob to activate it.

The Commutercar weighs > 3,000 lbs! My electric RX7, with side by side conventional seating, LiFePo traction pack, and full sized, crash tested car body weighs the same.

if they're that far ahead of you that another vehicle or several vehicles prevent you from seeing 1/2 their car and their CHMSL, why does it matter to you that they're turning anyhow? They're nowhere in your envelope. Nor is it at all common for someone to pulse their brakes as regularly...

You expect reporters to know things like Pacific Standard Time becomes Pacific Daylight Time in the summer? It's like you expect them to know facts and such! ;)

John Goodenough, a U of T professor, and Hydro Quebec are both suing A123 for violating their patents: Goodenough claims in a suit filed in US District Court in Dallas the A123 batteries violate two patents he holds on use of a chemical compound, lithium iron phosphate, as a component of...

REEV is a marketing term invention. It's a series hybrid.

How is that confusing? The turn indicators pulse on and off, and on one side of the car only to indicate the direction of the turn. Braking lamps come on full, no pulsing, on both sides of the car. Perhaps an idiot focusing on colour only, and ignoring all other visual data, would be...

Ken Curry, the owner/operator of LIonEV, has been convicted of fraud in the past for selling things he didn't actually have; in 2006 he was tried and convicted for selling gold coins - that didn't exist - over eBay in 2004. I paid Ken $36,000 for two Ford Ranger conversion kits without...
