Instead of an air bag, maybe they would have a pop out parachute. :)

Fun puzzle, Aldege.

You bring up some interesting stuff about the future of transportation Joe. Even with onboard self ejecting parachutes,can you imagine cutting your lawn and cars are suddenly slowly landing in your path Norma. What a nuisance,lol.:)

Thx Tom K.:)

Insurance rates for roof repair would be out of sight.

Never mind leaky oil, leaky exhaust, leaky transmission fluid...

They would have to have restricted air spaces, so all that crud stays over the roads, at least.

Good puzzle ! Interesting tech. My grandfather built his own car in the 1920's, I wonder if people could do that today.

Tough puzzle.

Interesting.

Thank you Jota. I miss everyone too. I wish my life wasn't so busy at times so that I could spend time on WEBPBN with all of you. I miss creating puzzles and especially miss the comaderie that we all shared. Who knows, as the girls grow up perhaps I will find time to get back on WEBPBN. Please say hi to Lollipop for me. It's hard to imagine that the girls are 11, 9 and 6 already. Bests and God Bless you all.

Lollipop this is Als response to a comment on another puzzle, I can't remember which one, I hope this finds you.

Thanks, Jota, it did. I select New Replies to Your Postings in the forum, and here I was, posting on Aldège's puzzle back in 2013. Amazing that some of us were here when all the girls were born. More time for Dad after Destyny's grown and the other kids are still teens? Hah, doubtful.

Glad Lollipop!

WAs thinking about Aldege the other day. Miss that crazy guy!

Me too. Jota, any news for us about Aldege and the girls? Is he permanently gone from our community now? Please do send him good wishes from David and me and the rest of his friends here.

I messaged him on FB. They seem to be doing well!

I hear a lot of people with high praise and a lot of nightmare stories. As with most everything else, I think a majority of experiences fall somewhere in between. Personally, I think electric vehicles are much better than internal combustion and the sooner we can convert the better. My reservations are with battery technology. I think Li-ion is bad technology that is being pushed too hard, too fast. However, it's a necessary step toward the next generation much like CFL was a flawed technology that was pushed too hard but did transition us away from incandescent and was luckily replaced by LED quickly.

I have a lot of experience with the Li-ion battery production process including the full "recipe" for multiple automakers. I'm under Nondisclosure Agreements with these makers (that manufacture over 20 vehicle brands combined), so the hazards involved hit close to home. Can't wait for the "next LED" to replace these things!

I've never owned an electric car but it sounds like Bill and I are of similar minds with different perspectives to pull from :)

My ex-husband had a Chevy Volt, which was nice. It was fully electric, but it had a small gas tank to run the gas-powered generator. The generator would slowly recharge the battery, resulting in a range of some 400 miles between plug-ins.

Otherwise, running purely off an overnight plug-in would yield about 40 miles of distance (less as the battery aged).
