Driverless Cars and the Future

[Kevin]

I think if they find a way to safely contain the radiation, miniature Thorium reactors could be used to safely power cars - bye bye fossil fuels.

I still think Hydrogen fuel cells are already economically viable (better than electric) and wouldn't require nearly the infrastructure change that other methods would. They just don't carry the same profit margins that fossil fuel burning vehicle do, nor the government subsidies that hybrids/electrics do. They are no more dangerous than gasoline powered vehicles at this stage either, and well the byproduct is pure water. It just makes more sense to me than most other alternatives for powering transportation. Heck, Iceland is already in the process of switching all vehicles to hydrogen, London has Taxi fleets running on it.
