Its future will include cars Henry Ford and Karl Benz could scarcely have imagined. They will drive themselves, won't consume oil, and will come in radical shapes and sizes. But the path to that future is fraught. The top contenders are two traditional manufacturing giants, the United States and Japan, and a newcomer, China.Team America has a powerful and little known weapon in its arsenal: a small group of technology buffs and regulators from California. The story of why and how these men and women could shape the future--how you move, how you work, how you live on earth--is an unexpected tale filled with unforgettable characters: a scorned chemistry professor, a South African visionary who went for broke, an ambitious Chinese expat, a quixotic Japanese nuclear engineer, and a string of billion-dollar wagers by governments and corporations.Tillemann's account is incisive and riveting. It explains how America bounced back in this global contest and what it will take to command the industrial future. 650 0 $a Automobile industry and trade. 650 0 $a Automobile industry and trade $x Technological innovations. 650 6 $a Automobiles $x Industrie et commerce. 650 6 $a Automobiles $x Innovations. $x Innovations. 650 7 $a Automobiles. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Innovations technologiques. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Industrie automobile. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Futur. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Automobile industry and trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822961 650 7 $a Automobile industry and trade $x Technological innovations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00823037 941 $a 1 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816050209.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DAC87F045B9611EFABE9BE7952ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOTInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
