The most significant thing about this car is the pricetag. If they could actually sell the thing for $20,000, maybe aspects of the technology could be used to make practical cars more efficient. Plus, I'm all for anything that reduces weight: I love the good handling characteristics that compliment a low curb weight...

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
