General Motors has established extensive hydrogen fuel cell research and development facilities both in the U.S. and Europe. It has produced AUTOnomy, a concept vehicle that captures the vision and potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology, and the revolutionary Hy-wire, a vehicle unmatched in both hydrogen and electronic technology. The Hy-wire's fuel cell propulsion system is housed entirely in an 11-inch thick skateboard-like chbuttis. By-wire controls attached to the chbuttis through a single docking port use electrical signals instead of mechanical links of hydraulics to control steering, acceleration and braking. Without an engine, steering column or other conventional vehicle components, this concept provides unprecedented design freedom. WHITE KIDS SAY " ENOUGHCORRECTION: I NEVER SUPPORTED THE USE OF N WORD, I am not a racist here and was a victim (jewish) like those african peoples, those who use N words should be sent to jail!! I... 500 GM people and similar numbers of FORD people are working to kill gasoline in favor of hydrogen and rid our country from ever aggravating Middlea-East oil dependency. I must say GM makes more noise than Ford about their achievements but seems it's Ford who already delievered practical results (Hybrds) and already operates thousands of hydrogen vehicles in CA, FL, Michicgan, NY, etc for the government fleets. My statement doesn't preclude a possibility GM is hiding something until the time is right (when gas prices reach ridiculous heights) and will release a revolution to take the lead over Ford, so in meanwhile they dont want to lose capitalization-investements into current gas engines.
