The increasingly cost of gas has expedited development of new concepts of car in the near future, such as the one in the article above . A new carmaker in the US has built an air-powered car, which is planned to be mass marketed in just about two years later from now.
Car with an alternative power source is not new in this world, however, almost none of them are cheap and going to be mass marketed so far. The value propositon that the carmaker has in this case is, first, they offers great design where user can customize it. Second, the price is expected to be cheap where low-end user can afford it (like in India where Tata has already right to make for the huge Indian market). Third, they are coming in the right time. It is likely that there will be new laws to be enacted in a few years that will limit carbon dioxide emissions and force automakers to develop ultra-high mileage cars and those that emit minuscule amounts of or no gases linked with global warming. Fourth, the relatively high cost of gas has expedited the air car's development.
Lets see what will happen then... I guess I'm interested to by one later on :-D
