oh thank God, I thought it was something the size of a skateboard that you had to stand on until I saw it scaled up to the guy when he sat on the wheel

This thing is amazing. Full customization. Its to say that no 2 skateboards will be the same. but i prob is money. how much will it cost. and downloads? That will bring about the most expensive downloads ever hosted by Robyn Leech. Its revolutionary though mad props

Great...So I could be driving my car sitting upside down with the seat on the roof using a mouse and a keyboard.

But what if some L33t Haxxor got into my car, all of a sudden im driving along and wham! he turns the hyrdaulics off? Oh im sorry, you just went through the windshield, I also undid your seatbelt..

I saw a video on this concept last year. I think it might have been an audi? This must`ve been when the "skateboard" was still in an extremely early concept.

All things aside, this really is revolutionary. Once this thing gets pumped out in 10-15 years, you`re going to see a lot of cool things.

I was hoping it was going to be that skateboard from Back to the Future.

OMFG, It`s like a tiny Subaru...I do wonder how powerful each motor is though. Boxer 4 vs. 4 independent motors? The thing must be uber light since there`s no heavy engine...but then again what`s protecting you against the guy who just came into your lane and DOES have a regular engine?

Um, I want some ground clearance for my truck. 2 inches doesn`t really cut it.

IT IS NOT ZERO EMISSION! It is Zero DIRECT emission! You still have a lot emission when producing Hydrogen as the process is not (yet) very energy efficient (unless of course the hydrogen is produced exclusively using solar wind or water power). Note that I am absolutely PRO low or even non emission vehicles, I just hate people praising their products as being zero emission when in fact they are not (yet). I would guess that in reality, applying TODAYS technology one could say that a hydrogen powered vehicle produces more (indirect) emissions than your average car. I like the concept of the car though.

This will never see the light of day because of one; OIL two; All the care manufacturers will be out of business, three; no government will ever allow it! Look what happen to the electric car. That`s not a new idea by far!

I bet you one billion dollars that as soon as you invent a truly "free" energy that you will not be shut down by "big oil". why the hell would they not want to control an industry of insane energy consumption with no cost. that`s not loss of income, that`s free income! They just have to buy out the inventor for more money than they can spend in their life and live of the profits for the rest of their lives.

great concept here, providing it can travel far enough between refuelling and the motors provide the power consumers want, can see this being a complete winner. having such a low center of gravity will give it nice performance and safety too.

Full customization, can it handle a hammock?

Nice idea, but looks more like a proof of concept at the moment. Will be a long time before this sort of thing is available to the public. Especially with companies like BP and Shell still throwing their weight around.
