“GM took a radically different approach. Realizing that a fuel cell could allow for an utterly new shape, the designers tossed out the design requirements of a conventional engine and devised a car from scratch. Once GM walked through that door, a universe of possibilities opened up…. It turns out that concentrating on the car, instead of just on the fuel cell, makes all the difference. And nobody is more surprised than General Motors.”

Without an engine under the hood – and without a hood – the Hywire’s surround-view interior provides high visbility.
There are no pedals. The steering wheel can be replaced with a joystick-like steering unit.

This radical redesign is creating an unusual set of bedfellows – auto executives, government leaders, technology futurists, and environmentalists. Sometimes it seems like they disagree on almost everything, except their common conviction that the time has come to replace the ICE with a more advanced design, based on the hydrogen fuel cell.
That is the destination we will work together to seek, as we pursue California’s Road to Hydrogen.
