Then we add in electric cars, which are now on the same path converting a staid, slow moving industry (traditional auto companies like GM) into a disruptive technology-driven one (innovators like Tesla).
Electric cars will accelerate the end of fossil fuels by joining with renewables to create a system shift,
This would then unleash a huge political and commercial driver for growth in electric cars with the utility sector providing infrastructure to use their product
and lobbying for electric cars (to also protect the grid). Within a decade, electric cars will be more reliable,
cheaper to own and more fun to drive than petrol-fueled cars. Then it will just be a matter of turning over the fleet.
Oil companies will then have their Kodak moment. Coal will already largely be gone, replaced by renewables.
Other companies like utilities and auto companies, meanwhile, have great options like taking away a large share of the oil industry market with renewable powered electric cars.
And electric car maker Tesla, producing less than 40,000 cars per year, is valued at over half of GM, which produces 9 million cars per year!
The market can smell death and knows that fast beats slow. For climate advocates and policy makers, nothing changes in their approach,
The obvious example is utilities promoting electric cars as an enormous new market opportunity, which will assist them in avoiding the eath spiralthreat posed by the end of centralised generation.

At a conference in California, the car maker unveiled its latest prototype folding electric bike called Mode:
fold to fit on a train or in the boot of a car, and with pedal assist, help riders reach speeds of up to 15mph (25km/h). They are also part of the company's wider Smart Mobility plan,
designed to make cars and other vehicles more connected. With all of its protoypes, Ford took inspiration from technology seen in cars including rear-facing ultrasonic sensors.
These sensors link with the handlebars to discreetly alert the rider when a car is about to overtake using subtle vibrations.
These handlebars also light up to make the bikes more visible to motorists. And each of the bikes works with an app called Mode:
while stowed in the back of a car. As part of the announcement, Ford also said it is extending its Mode:
#The gas powered 3d printed supercar that can go from 0-60 in TWO seconds It can go from 0-60mph in just two seconds,
and weighs 90%less that traditional cars. According to San francisco firm Divergent Microfactories, the Blade is the first 3d printed supercar,
and is created using a series of chassis parts held together by carbon rods-rather like a giant Lego kit.
and altogether it weighs just 1400lbs-90%less than some modern cars. Scroll down for video'Society has made great strides in its awareness and adoption of cleaner and greener cars'
said Divergent Microfactories CEO Kevin Czinger.''The problem is that while these cars do now exist,
the actual manufacturing of them is anything but environmentally friendly, 'The firm says its approach incorporates 3d printing to dramatically reduce the pollution,
materials and capital costs associated with building automobiles and other large complex structures.''At Divergent Microfactories, we've found a way to make automobiles that holds the promise of radically reducing the resource use
and pollution generated by manufacturing.''It also holds the promise of making large-scale car manufacturing affordable for small teams of innovators.'
'The Blade is made using a proprietary solution called a Node: a 3d-printed aluminum joint that connects pieces of carbon fiber tubing to make up the car's chassis. This solves the problem of time
and space by cutting down on the actual amount of 3d printing required to build the chassis
In addition to dramatically reducing materials and energy use, the weight of the Node-enabled chassis is up to 90%lighter than traditional cars,
allowing them to set up their own microfactories and build their own cars and, eventually, other large complex structures.

#Will car makers become internet companies? Connected vehicles will create a new business opportunity proving the internet-based mobile services to the driver.
Car manufacturers will soon be competing against technology companies to provide the online services to connected cars. Autonomous connected vehicles are seen as the first major market for so-called internet of things (Iot.
But arguably the biggest market opportunity will be in the provision v of online services that support the Iot devices in the car.
Existing automotive technologies and business models that have worked for the car industry for a century are not so well suited to a changing car market with autonomous vehicles and Iot-connected cars.
This will combine car makers with electronics firms and software services suppliers. No single sector will be able to capitalise on this market, due to its diversity and the range of technologies required.
Putting electronics management systems in cars was only the beginning. Connecting vehicles to the internet will add a far greater level of complexity to the automotive business model.
NXP believes car makers will find themselves fighting on two major battlefronts. Their core activity will be designing new forms of autonomous connected vehicles,

If the car has built-in GPS, Ford says, the car will use the map data to see
