JULY 18, 2023

It means quiet in the literal sense – the cabin of this car isolates noise nicely, as befits a luxury car – but also in the more abstract sense. This is a car that seems to fly under the radar, even as it’s one of the last wagons left on the market. Speaking of price points, this is not a cheap car.

Conventional cars work by exploding fuel and air in a chamber to exert force on the pistons, but what if rather than using an explosion to provide that pressure on the piston, you just stored your ‘fuel’ at a constant high pressure. That’s the concept behind the air car , and it looks like a pretty promising technology.

Brooks, who is now working on his third robotics startup, Robust.AI , has written hundreds of articles and half a dozen books and was featured in the motion picture Fast, Cheap & Out of Control.

What's most interesting, however, is how easy (and cheap) it is to do a carbon emission-free 200 mile day in a 100 mile range electric vehicle, my 5 year old Toyota RAV4 EV. Electric cars don't emit carbon (or anything else) as they drive, so there's one additional saving quite relevant to speaking at a rally decrying carbon emissions.

We’re happy we’re well on our way with plug-in cars. And oil only seems cheap. Since our cars and trucks use almost two-thirds of the oil we buy, the quickest way to cut oil use is to free transportation from its grip. And the first plug-in cars mass-produced in the USA in a century will go on sale this fall.

After all, the seventh-generation Mustang is the company’s newest version of a muscle-car thoroughbred. The car’s bones contain a lot of carryover. My dad bought a 1986 GT (with T-tops) new, and that car played at least a small part in making me an automotive enthusiast. A cleaner look is fine, but simpler function is better.
