Grab Bag from the RSS Reader - June 24th, 2008
Just a few things that have been lingering in my RSS reader . . .
Electrics from Mercedes
Rumor has it that Mercedes-Benz may have an electric model and an electric Smart by 2010. Zero details on this, but the company already has a fleet of 100 electric Smarts in London. You can read just a bit more at BenzInsider.
Enclosed Motorcycle
With oil and gas prices continuing to climb, alternative vehicles are popping out of the woodwork. Let’s just hope this really butt ugly enclosed motorcycle Engadget reported on Sunday is not a portent of things to come.
Rethinking the Cost of a Hybrid
Lifehacker has an excellent piece on rethinking the cost of a hybrid, comparing upfront pricing with long term maintenance and coming out with an overall cost to own figure. The results may surprise you.
Driveable Airplane
And just for kicks and giggles, don’t miss Terrafugia’s flying car / drivable airplane. The very idea would send Driver’s Ed teachers screaming in terror.
