Really? I'm no expert by any means, but I'm very much interested in this field. Could you point to any readings, examples on how to design a motor for such a load?

I'm also dubious. My first impression of the render is, where do the brakes go? A car can go without brakes in the rear, but front brakes are crucial in the front. This is specially true in emergency situations. I doubt an electric mot

An e-ink option is mentioned but I wonder where they can even find a supplier for the screen. I looked but could never find one. And I love this. I would buy one in a heartbeat

Wow really? That seems like a small number. Given that aroun 70+ million cars were sold in 2016, we probably have the industrial capacity to offset the yearly emissions. I wonder how cheap these will get and if they can be deployed en masse

You mean like flywheels? What's their efficiency like? I always thought that they needed magnetic bearing to get to higher (70+) efficiencies. But they seem cheap over the course of decades when compared to battery lifecycles and maint

What's the memory consumption like? A node for each letter seems like it would result in substantial memory consumption. I was thinking an object pool might help here, but I'm not sure if its possible to use it given the nesting o
