My great-grandfather designed a system that poured sand in front of a car’s wheels for driving on snow and ice. Needless to say, his pitch to Henry Ford… failed.
Have you heard of the Ford pinto flying car
3:05 is the guy from the netflix documentary dirty money. He went to jail for defrauding poor Americans out of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Weight gets added for Comfort all the time, the Bose stuff looks awesome. On Norwegian tarmak i would Totally take the exchange.
I would use the electromagnetic suspension and have it so it tilts the car into the turns to increase handling and make it more comfortable
