Inhabitat's Week in Green: 3D-printed car, Coca-Cola Life and a supermaterial stronger than graphene or diamond
Inhabitat's Week in Green: 3D-printed car, Coca-Cola Life and a supermaterial stronger than graphene or diamond
Aug 25th 2013, 14:00, by Inhabitat
Each week our friends at
Inhabitat
recap the week's most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us -- it's the Week in Green.
Does the idea of
driverless cars
make you queasy? Better get used to it: Researchers are predicting that
more than 95 million autonomous cars could hit the road by 2035
. But, speaking of cars we actually
want
to drive,
Tesla Motors
continued its banner year, as the
Model S
earned
the highest safety score of any car ever tested
. In other green transportation news,
KAIST
unveiled a new
folding, electric micro car
that can fit into just about any parking space. Copenhagen announced plans to launch the
world's most high-tech bike-sharing program
, which will include bikes with GPS-enabled Android tablets. A grad student at the Royal College of Art recently produced plans for
a 3D-printed car concept that actually assembles itself
. But the form of urban transportation that looks like the most fun to ride is
the Scrooser
, a foot-powered scooter with an electric motor that zips around town at speeds of up to 15 MPH. And Vanmoof is set to release a new electric bike in 2014 that is already being billed as
the world's most intelligent commuter bike
.
