I do not hear it.“ Then the Hand spoke and said, “I am trying in vain to feel it or touch it, and I can find no mountain.“ And the Nose said, “There is no mountain, I cannot smell it.“ Then the Eye turned the other way, and they all began to talk together about the Eyes strange de

38、 513FOREWORD Robert Rileys original 1994 edition of Alternative Cars in the 21st Century: A New Personal Transportation Paradigm arrived at a critical time and served a vital need. A new priority on electric cars was then stimulating public inter- est, regulatory attention, and many technological de

39、velopments. Information to the public was characterized by an overload of conjecture, complexity, and alternatives. Riley brought some clarity to the field. He put things in per- spective, backed up by quantitative exploration. Now it is nine years later. Many more forces and technologies have enter

40、ed the ring. The stakes are higher. This new, considerably revised edition appears at an even more criti- cal time. There are now many more complexities, alternatives, and overload from information and misinformation. Clarifying realities and providing perspective become more vital. Riley handles th

41、e task well. Throughout the 20th century, cars have been infiltrating into the very soul of the United States. In a symbiotic relationship, cars and highways created us as we created them. Cars came to define us: where we live relative to where we work, our recreations, our mating patterns, and our

42、self-esteem. A galac- tic observer, upon first looking down on the United States, might assume cars to be the dominant lifeform: they travel widely, avoid jostling each other, but congregate closely and rest regularly in giant meeting lots. Little two- legged subunits might be their slaves. Are the

43、galactic observers insights mistaken? In any case, use of cars grew huge because of the many benefits they provided us. When automotive technology changed, it was mostly by small steps, with an occasional kick from regulations about exhaust emis- sions, fuel economy (corporate average fuel economy C

44、AFE requirements), and safety. The 1990s initiated a decade of faster change. Sport utility vehi- cles (SUVs) and pickups, insulated from CAFE rules, became increasingly popular with customers whose interest in being in the heavier vehicle when collisions occurred outweighed concerns about poor fuel

45、 efficiency (or the fate of the occupants of the lighter vehicle). Manufacturers who had continu- ally lost money trying to market small, fuel-efficient cars now found profits in the heavier, low-mpg vehicles. In a broad sense, the people who design cars are the customers (aided of course by auto co

46、mpany engineers), and they have designed well, although more for individual than societal benefit. xviixviii FOREWORD An underlying theme of alternative cars is the combination of continuing to meet our needs for safe and convenient personal mobility while decreasing local and global pollution and o

47、ur dependence on nonrenewable energy sources. An obvious and practical strategy is adopting vehicles that do their job with much less energy. This cuts consumption (and preserves reserves) of conventional fuels and opens opportunities for alternative energies (mostly renewable, with low pollutant em

48、issions) that may initially be more expensive and less convenient. Rileys entrance into the mobility field came through small, very efficient vehiclesa better starting point for his ideas than if he had been embedded in the midst of the standard car field. I am perhaps biased in his favor because of

49、 having personally entered the serious mobility field from the standpoint of very efficient specialty vehicles that had to rely on the puny power of human muscles or photovoltaic cells. The alternative car field has evolved from a century featuring many car developments, both technological and societal. A significant modern change element emerged on January 3, 1990. The battery-powered GM Impact was first presented to the public at a press conference with Roger Smith, GMs chairman, presiding. I will never forget one of his prophetic remarks. He noted that auto
