X-Prize at the Right Time
by Andrew McCaskey
You could not have selected a more suitable time to introduce the X-prize competition if you were seeking some way to capture the imagination of the public.
Even those of us who are fortunate to spend most of their working time working from home – as long as the VPN stays up – feel the pinch when we do venture out.
RIght now there is a minor blip down to $3.25 a gallon, but within weeks we will be tagging along at the $4 a gallon gasoline limit which extends the pain to the point where almost everyone is affected.
The cup holder / chrome competition from traditional American car makers may have finally been broken – and this is an opening for both style and technology to begin to make a real difference.
Regardless of the appearance – jet plane or batmobile – if the levels of performance are there, it will certainly capture the imagination of the public. And the zero to sixty in less than five seconds + 92mph will attract attention like nothing else.
