The basic properties of an internal combustion engine powered automobile has not changed in 100 years. Basic properties don't have much to do with anything. Modern steel composites still have the basic properties of iron ore, but they sure aren't iron ore. So what new technology projects are you helping design? Or are you just a member of the pep squad? I use technology every day in my job. I use technology every day too, and I don't have a job. |

It has a battery and electric motors. So? Your car still has an internal combustion engine. Is it the same as a Model A? Yes. The internal combustion engine has not changed much in 100 years either. Bull****! That's a very ignorant statement! Specifically what has changed? Metals used, fuel delivery systems, advances in combustion technology, advances in exhaust technology, much better efficiency, electronics for combustion, fuel efficiency, engine control, emissions, and on and on... Those are all just improvements on something that already existed. |

That's all you know about a modern internal combustion engine? Figures. http://www.ehow.com/about_5132937_hi...bocharger.html As I said the internal compustion automobile hasn't changed in 100 years. |
