摘要

When I was named vice-president of research and development at General Motors (GM) in 1998,I was asked: "If we reinvented the automobile, what would be different?" This question has framed my work since.Today, around a billion cars and trucks move people and goods on the worlds roads. Parked end-to-end, this fleet would circle Earth more than 100 times. It is remarkable that such scale has been achieved with little change to the machine that was invented by Karl Benz and popularized by Henry Ford more than a century ago. The basic design of automobiles today is the same as it was in 1900: energized by oil, powered by combustion, driven mechanically by a person and intended for broad purpose.
