Everyone who follows Tesla knows about Nikola One, the super sexy class 8 tractor that promises to be a turbine/battery hybrid long range hauler. Shell teamed up with Airflow to build the Starship prototype which will be doing a test run this year. Sadly, functional requirements don’t trump patent filings (Apple vs Samsung) so Nikola is free to sue everyone whose aerodynamic truck design includes a curved windscreen. Your opinion about whether these patents are valid or should have been issued is irrelevant. The Patent Office issues parents and leaves it to the courts to determine validity and worthiness.
