Understanding is the Essence of Intelligence

Just about every type of vehicle now has an electric or at least hybrid version. The clean electric drive revolution has now reached the point of no return.

This means that we can now picture a not-so-distant future where our cities will be free or air-born pollutions that kill 400,000 people every year. The electric vehicle is about saving real lives long before being about energy independence or slowing down global warming.

That said we still need plenty of innovations, especially in energy storage, in order to make these vehicles more affordable and and get away from hybrids which is an expensive and not so efficient transition technology.

There is also a need to continue innovations towards automatic driving machines to both improve security and enable new usage models.

The next 20 years will therefore provide plenty of fun and jobs for those who love technology.
