Does it put itself out if it catches fire? Lambos always seem to be on fire.

#12> Supercapacitors store energy physically and don’t generate the heat of lithium-ions, but as of yet they don’t offer as much power.
This probably should read "don't offer as much energy". Almost every mainstream media article about electric cars mixes up these two concepts, sigh.

#13What's with all the auto-playing videos these days? I don't even know how to turn this video off....
There should be an add-on that just basically stops one from even opening a website with this kind of practice. I left as soon as the video started playing.
Just FYI for Mac users, latest Safari has this feature built-in.

I too, have lost my share of Lambo's in various fires.

#15Pretty to look at but when they get around to building this electric supercar, self-driving cars will be the norm.
What is the nature of a self driving supercar? Is it to get where you are going a bit faster?
Dead end in my opinion - except for an off-road manual-driving supercar.

#16> the company will develop in-wheel electric motors, which would eliminate the need for a single large engine. A 'single large engine' is only needed in ICE cars, electric vehicles have a 'small' motor, and can easily have multiple motors. It's already being done by Tesla and Rimac. To my knowledge, an 'in wheel' motor would not be desirable due to unsprung mass, so a motor on the chassis connected to the wheel with…
That design doesn't look like it has any springs anyway, so the whole thing is a giant unsprung mass, :p

cmd+w works. I did gather that Google / Chrome wanted to auto mute autoplaying videos.

#18So if the carbon fiber body is going to be a capacitor, wouldn't there be a risk of electric shock in case of some damage to it?
That's where the magic autoheal comes in.
But yeah, that would be a pretty big safety risk. It's a concept, these panels don't even exist yet. Actually it's not even sure if they'd even be possible. Safety only becomes a factor once they can start making them, I think.

The way apple has stood up for consumers through built-in Safari features is straight up inspiring, with autoplay disabling and tracking disabling.

For a mainstream audience, the difference probably isn't that interesting. I certainly got the point they were trying to make.
