Ex-BMW engineer designing 'certified successor of cars'

It was only around 100 years ago now that what we think of as the modern car started revolutionizing the way we travel. What will transportation look like in another 100? One ex-BMW engineer is hard at work on a vision that seems completely nuts, yet he's totally serious about it. It would be nothing short of a revolution.

Said engineer is Peter Maskus, who has worked at BMW, Porsche and Ferrari and has now gone on to start his own company, the Swiss-based Acabion. If Maskus's grand design ever comes to fruition, then one day cars — like horse-drawn carriages today — won't even be allowed on the same elevated roadways as an Acabion.

So, what is this dream machine? Well, you can see the mock-up up above of Acabion's "da Vinci." It's small, ultra-fast and totally electric, with a potential top speed of 375 miles per hour (much faster than even the speediest maglev trains in the world today). It's this speed alone that will make it unsafe for something like today's automobiles to inhabit the same space as a zippier Acabion.

What goes up must come down, they say, and the axiom holds true for technology. Many sky-high aerospace innovations have translated into on-the-ground improvements for our cars and trucks, including everyday features such as anti-lock brakes and GPS navigation.

Several other emerging technologies involving energy production, navigation and safety owe their existence in part to aerospace investment as well.

One example is thermoelectric generators. As their name implies, these units make electricity from heat.

The tech has powered space probes since the 1960s, although the heat that feeds their thermoelectric generators comes not from the combustion of fossil fuels but from the decay of radioactive elements.

A hot new source of electricity Now carmakers are looking to recoup some of an auto's waste heat and put it to good use. A number of manufacturers, including BMW and GM, are developing thermoelectric generators as part of a vehicle's exhaust system.

The hope is to cut overall fuel consumption 5 percent to 10 percent by offsetting some of the energy needed for powering onboard electronics.

Prototypes of the heat-scavenging devices already have been tested and they could become commonplace this decade.
