World's Most Expensive Digital Car Made in USA
If you can find one of these consider it the rarest and potentially most valuable digital car ever made. Very few were manufactured and most of them were crushed. I'm guessing a valuation of an easy $1M in decent shape today and $5-10M when digital automobiles become the majority.
Tesla hires Detroit for Designed in USA
Tesla led the way opening the door for digital domination but soon realized that industry expertise is key during the growth stage. Are digital automobiles finally out of the garage? If so, will the Western United States (which designs the majority of future automobiles) continue sucking auto industry talent from Detroit, the UK and other places? If so, California, Oregon, Nevada may set the new digital curve in automaking!
Quickest in the West
Oregon is quietly racing out front of the digital pack. Just take a look at the list of Auto X Prize teams and the long electric drag racing history. Could the state that does more trade in used automobiles than any in America be the darkhouse in the digital race? I think so. If you are a smart auto exec serious about your future, you might want to setup a small shop in Oregon and build your own digital darkhorse in stealth mode. Start your motors!

The Digital Race

Ford, Porsche and most successful tinkerers turned automakers got their start in racing. Ford focused on explosion engines after Edison pounded his fist encouraging Ford to drive off his limited grid and Porsche started out with hybrids setting land speed records to get the attention of Mercedes Benz father who recruited him over to Daimler. They both sought speed years before they started some of the world's longest running automakers.
Believe it or not most everything we drive has roots in racing.
Looking forward, one can only imagine if these
digital designs and digital technologies will drive
the century of digital automaking dawning today?
One of the most intensive tests on any new racing technology
is a 24 hour race like the one this Gumpert Apollo Hybrid entered.
The future is looking efficient and fast!

How fast would Edison think?
computers filled buildings with glass tubes to punch holes in dead trees!
The era of analogue supercomputers also spawned the greatest American genre of automaking: "musclecars!"
Right before Silicon Valley delivered the first personal computer born in a wooden box to two hippies in the 60s (Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak genius billionaires) Detroit's motor city was pumping out masterpiece after masterpiece: from the 1st through 3rd gen Camaros, Corvettes, Mustangs, Firebirds, Trans Ams, Barracudas, Challengers, Chargers
to those famous components like "six-pack" "double-barrel" "4 on the floor"
the 60s and 70s were arguable the pinnacle of
American Automaking genius!!!
Then came the the Oil Embargo (1973) followed by Jobs and Woz rocking our world with the Personal Computer (PC) on April Fools, 1976!
Analogue American Automaking had a stroke as the stork delivered Digital Computers changing life on Earth forever.
Since the mid-70s American Automaking has been falling and Digital Computermaking has skyrocketed into every industry including automaking which buys 10 times more
computers than Silicon Valley type companies and develops many more digital patents than computer geeks themselves.
CAN THE HORSEPOWER BUSINESS MODEL SURVIVE???
The obvious answer is "horsepower" or "horses" which has been the basic business model ever
since Edison pounded his fist on the desk of his electric company encouraging Ford to
develop his stinky loud 4 wheel bike because it could travel beyond the electric grid.
Yes, the world's most famous electrician was the root
responsible party for 100 years of internal combustion engine
development driven by the quest for more horsepower...
Well, looking back to those beautiful 60s and 70s American Masterpieces of analogue automaking
one couldn't blame them for demanding more and more oil to feed the horsepower business model.
Unfortunately, the model broke first in the 70s killing every world class American design
except maybe the Corvette and Mustang and the engine blew in the 2000s requiring
funny money intravenous injections!!!
Shelby Hitches Electric Horsepower to World's Fastest Coach!!!
has brought the "horsepower" business model back from
the dead by attaching a major Defibrillator to
the "musclecars!"
taking the cake over yesterday's kids
and even the automaking veteran Fisker.
NOT ONLY could Jerod's Digital Masterpiece
be "World's Fastest Digital Automobile"
thanks to Jobs and Wozniak and not Edison
blowing by Tesla challenging the old adage
of "first mover" with "faster mover"
enforcing that MADE IN USA DIGITAL AUTOMAKING
is accelerating world-class status leading the global mobility revolution!!!
enjoy this moment in the quest to become one of the
few automakers who survives the analogue to digital energy shakeout...

Revolution Y
What do you get when you cross FREE wind & FREE sun with $$$ super capacitors???
Who says digital automaking can't clean, green and fast???
One look at the RORRMaxx and one could say the Revolution Y,
in other words, the design, idea, research and development of
digital transportation ideas by the LARGEST Generation EVER
to be born into and come to power in the United States of Automobiles
(YES!!! Generation Y outnumber Baby Boomers by millions)
is off and running and has hole shot out of the station!!!
HANG ON FOR A NEW GENERATION OF CLEAN, GREEN & SEXY TORQUE!!!
WAY TO GO Rory and Maxx,
you just proved that a picture is worth a thousand words
and have earned what other generation took centuries to gain
in a few simply sexy designs!!!
It doesn't hurt to be connected though
and even Bill Gates who runs the majority
of every digital computer on this planet
also had a well connected father...
My expectations will be higher
but so far you have delivery the concept goods!!!
All the luck in implenting and KEEP UP THE GEN Y DIGITAL AUTOMAKING!!!
Fisker Karma: Sexy Green Luxury

- The world's most important auto show
- just opened to the public in "motor city!"
As predicted, the most sexy,
attention grabbing, exciting
and watched world debuts
were the Lithium and other
digital world premieres.
Fisker's Karma proves that
digital automaking is moving
from the startup to growth stage
showing that real technology
can be ramped just as fast as
a .com can develop a website!
Fisker and Tesla are starting the
digital revolution and the big
automakers are losing marketshare.
GREAT JOB Henrik and good luck
in the quest to be the last 1 or 2
digital automakers standing at the
end of the Lithium bubble...

Hybrid Option on Every Toyota
Was my hybrid master's thesis too early???
Stanford didn't seem to think it would fit their
new automotive research center focused on "rethinking the automobile"
Looks like my three years of hybrid research from 2003 through 2006
could have been ahead of it's time... According to the Wall Street Journal at
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121883067453545253.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
Toyota will follow the words of Jim Press (Toyota's ex-American boss) below
and offer a hybrid option on every single vehicle before cheap oil runs out!
How can these world's largest business bet on hybrid technology???
Well that's pretty simple:
"hybrids" are compatible with all fuels including
gasoline, diesel, E85, electricity, plutonium, water, wood, natural gas, etc.
ALSO "hybrids" are also buildable in any configuration including:
car, bus, truck, train, ship, submarine, spaceship, etc.
AND "hybrids are already powering every part of our life including:

while Chrysler and Toyota (some of the largest organizations in the world)
are planning to offer hybrids on EVERY future automobile.

- our cities are hybrids or more

- our power grids are hybrids or more
- our DNA is hybrid

so should our daily transportation go hybrid
or jump straight to the inevitable next step - digital???
