March 8th 2011 Meeting

Happy Mardi Gras!

Jeff Finn had an update on SSB 551. It should be dead, but the Senator Haugan can still add it to the Transportation Budget. The VMT suggestion is most likely dead. Jeff will follow up with us on what we should do next to defeat or modify the proposed bill.

Joe Justice from WIKISPEED ( www.wikispeed.com ) gave a presentation on how his team appeared. He started building a fun, efficient car in his garage. Other people came by, and grew into a worldwide all-volunteer team. His car is all modular, capable of any drivetrain or other parts. It has been crash simulated and passed. He used the principles of quick and easy modifications (in software, called agile). Rob Beresford presented on the WIKISPEED's technical specs. They are interested in having someone(s) develop an electric drive system in 40"x40"x24" space. Please contact info@wikispeed.com if you are interested!
