Still stuck on fuel cells?
Are automakers stuck in the stone ages? I’m not just talking powertrains, I mean everything about the auto industry.
That was the thought M80′s new Honda video Mobility 2088 left me contemplating last week.
Fuel cells. Cars that can drive themselves, etc. These ideas, advanced by 2088, have been around for decades, yet they are still decades away. I guess that’s why it’s called Mobility 2088.
Nevertheless, there was a time when Honda fully embraced failure as the path to success. Today, however, it seems neither Honda, nor any other major automaker, takes much risk.
Change. In recent days I’ve noticed a number of Spyder Roadsters on the streets of SoCal, which makes me wonder, are automotive revolutions – beyond just powertrains – still possible? Moreover, is it possible for large automakers, such as Honda or GM, to be the leaders of such change?
Or, is real change – thinking outside of the box – purely dependent upon the likes of Tesla, Aptera and BYD?
