I was reading an article on a device claimed to be a functional, commercially viable, quantum computer, when I stumbled upon images of this little beauty. I love the idea of a stackable electric vehicle that I could rent when I’m traveling in a big city. With my wife from New York and me from near Chicago, it would be wonderful to be able to take the train into the one of those cities and then, if need be, rent an electric car to get where we want to go. Some of the features include customizeable interior and exterior, new and novel restraint systems, and fully self-contained wheels that allow 360 degrees of rotation. Imagine walking up to a car, swiping your credit card, hopping in and customizing the color and instrumentation to match your style and preference. Even better, you know that companies will do things like storing your preferences so you can swipe and the system will apply the preferences you last used.
