I didn't mean to make it hard. I posted it with my phone and i thought that the link was going to work.

That is some cool technology. It will be interesting to see how much weight that they can take off of their cars and trucks.

True. Better get the hell out if the car catches on fire. But it would be nice to see cars with reasonable weights again.
