In case anyone wants to watch bringing a new vehicle from concept to market in the United States. This is the story of the group of people who are doing just that in a collapsed time frame and without an internal combustion engine.

I have to wonder how your brain would have handled ICE engines in their infancy, heavier than air aircraft, re-usable rockets or the development of electricity into a life essential. Developing new tech for commercial applications rarely goes as smoothly as the developer hopes. But then, if the developer wasn't optimistic he would just stick with the herd and keep relying on the tech that he was born with.
