		Yet some of the world's leading car designers have been recruited from the university's MA course in vehicle design.

		The cars of the future must work more like living things and less like living rooms on wheels if we are to mitigate problems of fuel consumption and traffic congestion, according to a panel of experts who discussed "The Future of the Car -- the Car of the Future" on Sept. 22 in Room 4-237.
		The two Media Lab students showed slides of gum-drop-shaped cars, cars that required drivers to move like athletes, cars that adapted for storage by standing up on rear wheels and cars that could manage that all-important 90-degree pop into a parking space, thanks to hubless robotic wheels.
		Professor John Heywood was one of the panelists in 'The Future of the Car -- the Car of the Future' discussion on Thursday, Sept. 22.

	Unofficial ITER fan club - The future of the car: hybrid or hydrogen?
		Currently, cars and trucks account for about 20% of all CO2 emissions, compared with about 3% for air travel and 4% for the world’s shipping fleets, and are the most obvious source of our consumption of refined oil in the form of petrol or diesel.
		At high speeds, when an ICE is most efficient, the car runs conventionally, but during braking, the electric motor acts like a generator, converting the vehicle’s kinetic energy into electrical energy and storing it in the battery, which is then used when the car is accelerating or driving at low speeds.
		The fuel economy is impressive, and with the introduction of lithium-ion batteries in the next generation of hybrid cars, there is real expectation of the first “100 miles per gallon” (2.4 l/100km) cars.

		Over the next 10 years tariffs on imported cars fell to 10% and the export facilitation scheme was replaced by the Automotive Investment and Competitiveness Scheme (AICS).
		While it is not possible to predict future petrol prices, it is clear that car manufacturers must develop and adopt alternative fuel systems to remain competitive.

		Some have heralded hydrogen as the energy of the future, but sceptics say it will always be just that - a future fuel which for a host of reasons never makes it out of test cars.
		DaimlerChrysler, the world's number five car maker with yearly revenues of around 150 billion euros ($146.3 billion) (dollars), says it will have spent $1 billion on researching the technology in the 14 years to 2004.
		Although the Natrium car and pure hydrogen fuel cell vehicles emit no pollutants, the process of creating the hydrogen might do so if, for example, the hydrogen is made by electrolysis with electric power from a coal-fired power plant.
