Riversimple to Unveil Open Source Car in London This Month
,----[ Quote ]
| The idea to build an open source car isn't a new one, but you've got to give
| vehicle design company Riversimple credit for originality. The company plans
| to unveil its first car in London later this month, a small two-seater that
| weighs roughly 700 pounds. If you agree to lease one for 20 years (yes, 20),
| Riversimple will throw in the cost of fuel for the lifetime of the lease.
