Excerpt:


Honda designers have come up with a clever way to get around "High Occupancy Vehicle" lane restrictions that they expect will still be around in 50 years.

The Honda 1^4, or One to the Power of Four, is Honda's concept for a solar powered hybrid robotic vehicle. It would allow commuters to use restricted HOV lanes, but as the vehicle nears its final destination, it would transform into four smaller cars to take occupants to their final destinations.

Molecular engineering would allow the individual vehicles to reshape depending on whether they were separated or combined into one or two.

They used to say alot of things wouldn't happen, like computers for example. Yet they did.

I wouldn't be quick to write them off yet, not with how fast science is moving.

If it happens, it might as well be a japanese car maker to do it first.

yea i saw the rest. they're so far in the future that i dont even care. besides, we have more important things to be worried about like more fuel efficient cars rather than transforming automobiles.....

Nearly a hundred years ago a car didn't exist. Now we have some running on alternate fuels that were only thought of a handful of years ago. These could easily come within our lifetimes. Computers showed a pattern of doubling speed every 18 months..when I said science is moving, I wasn't saying it just for fun. I really do see these as being well within our lifetimes.

As for efficiency goes, did you see the Toyota proposal? Fueled by air pollution. That's efficiency and ecofriendly in one (can make up for their mistakes with the prius).
