Future cars as 'two-ton Cuisinarts'?

Abstract:
The car of the future will apparently have more in common with a kitchen appliance than a lawn mower.

The future is going to be an automobile that looks like a two-ton Cuisinart," said Josh Wolfe, managing partner of Lux Capital, at the Future in Review conference Wednesday. Wolfe was part of a panel discussion entitled "The Future of Energy on the Nanoscale," in which panelists focused mostly on battery technologies and how those will evolve for cars and other devices.
