Today’s Google alert of interest is an article on newsbuzz.com about the unveiling of a urban two-seater hydrogen car in London created by RiverSimple. According to the article, the car is to be a ‘open source’ car, meaning that “the company will distribute the engineering designs to the 40 Fires foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that will make the designs “open source”. Creating this open source car would allow smaller manufacturing plants around the country. This would allow design changes in the car depending on where it was manufactured. Improved design changes would be sent back to contribute to the development of the product line.

More information on the hydrogen car can be found at the RiverSimple website.

Now that GM is going through bankruptcy the quesiton is, “What next?” Owners of GM vehicles are wondering this also, and in an attempt to quell the rising fear, GM has come up with it’s Reinvention commercial. While the spokesperson assures us that GM will be a better company, there are still some sceptics out there. In his Station Break blog, Paul Farhi of The Washington Post criticizes the “hodgepodge of images” and the message conveyed in the commercial.

Watch the commercial and see what you think.

The 2010 Toyota Prius should be hitting the showrooms about now. The newly redesigned Hybrid leader gets points for a roomier cabin, more fuel economy – 50mpg, and better pickup than before.
