[quote=JMstamford,ct]I wonder whether the winner of "what's next" might not be hydrogen or some other portable fuel that can use existing infrastructure.[/quote]

I have been extremely surprised that the future seems to be electric.
When I started analyzing what I though the fuse future for automobiles would be I would have bet the farm that it would be hydrogen.
Hydrogen makes so much more sense than electric.
Hydrogen could be dispensed in modified gas stations, but the infrastructure would exist.
Car manufacturers could have mad a much easier transition in to hydrogen powered drivetrains.
But, the whole thing about self-driving and AI just makes it a computer-industry business.
Exactly what happened with photography. It's now all computer driven.
I won't give up on my hydrogen dreams, they still may happen one day.
And I would buy a Hydrogen Boxster, not an Electron one.
Happy Electrification,
Pedro
