TED Talk #7- Larry Burns (Future of Cars)

I found this video very interesting.  Cars are a major component in our everyday lives, and without them our society would crash.  They provide so much freedom and flexibility when it comes to traveling that we really depend on them much more than we think.  I like that car manufacturors like GM (and I'm sure many other car companies as well) are taking this "going green" approach into the design and construction of our automobiles.  Cars are one of the main reasons for global warming today, because of the carbon monoxide emissions that they produce.  If companies like GM could create a economically friendly vehicle that has the same capabilities and performance as a regular old gas guzzler, imagine how much that would cut down on the amount of carbon monoxide produced, therefore helping maintain our planet.  Even though these cars may be still in the blueprint stages of development and will take a couple of years to get on the road, they will eventually shape the future of how we drive our cars.
