A great article that criticizes the car industry and the brainwashed consumers on their failure to see past the novelty and into the necessity. For a century now, we have been obsessed with aesthetic beauty and speed, failing to see how we can improve the automobile and make it safer, more efficient, and better on the environment. The Core77 team uses logical thinking to bring innovation and creativity to a new level in this article where they take you though their design process, and create a truly unique vehicle that is easily in the realms of possibility.
"Speed and 'performance' have been the driving factors for car design, styling, and engineering for a century. Most cars on the road today can go 120 mph. Why? The reality is that cars are mostly used at moderate speeds and for sitting in traffic" (quote from core77 article, "the end of driving")
