revelation!

having been to klims for 3 times today, i realised something after i came home today. at the motorshow, you can see all the cars of today and also some sneak preview to the cars of the future. when i came home i watched the latest episode of top gear, again showing the latest of the automotive industry. from time to time we see our cars get better, faster and what-not. productions cars can even achieve 0-100kmph in under 3 seconds now! (example the Bugatti Veyron)

when we were young cars achieving the century sprint in 6 seconds is hell fast. heck cars accelerating 0-100 in under 6 seconds is still VERY fast now! question is, untill when will car manufacturers stop? till what limit will cars be in the future? if you say future cars will be like those concept cars created by manufacturers using fuel cell or hydrogen or electric, i'd say not. those cars will only be on the road when fossil fuel is licked clean of this planet. i know some of those "futuristic" cars are already sold and used all around the world. such as the hybrid cars mostly sold by the japanese marques. these cars are pretty much still a gimmick sadly.

back to the topic, when will this stop? when will they know when to stop? when they can make cars go 0-100 in 1 second? is that even plausible? or will it stop when a car can lap a track in a blink of an eye? will we be able to engineer such a thing? will we be able to break the law of nature to achieve that? importantly will we WANT to be able to do that? would we want to race in miliseconds?

to me, the auto industry is at its best rite now. i cant imagine it getting any better than this. ok, it will and of course i want it to be better. but not to the extent where i can achieve 100 from standstill in 1 second. no, i dont want that =/

actually its the same as everything that has to do with technology. like mobile phones. how small they gonna get? how good a camera will future phones be? maybe future phones will be able to have slr cameras built in it who knows?

well, only time will tell..
