,----[ Quote ]
| What is interesting about Riversimple is its
| business model. To begin with the cars are all
| leased for a monthly fee, not bought, and
| secondly, all the technology and design is open
| source.

Open-Source Thinking Revolutionizes Prosthetic Limbs
,----[ Quote ]
| The reality is that there's no traditional economic incentive to do work and
| make improvements on prosthetics. That doesn't mean that nobody cares, but
| most people don't have the money or know-how to magnify whatever efforts or
| improvements they make. I think we can generate far more societal benefit if
| we give away information than if we commercialized and sold the ideas. Our
| goal is to create a way to share these efforts and improvements with anyone
| who needs them.
