AUTO2010

An imaginative simulated "auto magazine from the future,"
discovered on the Internet, by Paul VanValkenburgh.

..... page updated 24 Feb 1998.......Free pages offer ....... See ADDENDA at the end.

AUTO2010 is totally dedicated to the future of high performance auto technology. It's just like the car magazines you read today -- including road tests, engineering features, race reports -- except that it was written and photographed in the future, using revolutionary computer imaging techniques. It includes over 100 future automotive concepts that have never been seen in print, some of which are listed below.

It's actually a paperback book, with entire chapters describing the future technology of production cars, and methods of reducing congestion and pollution, and improving mileage. Other chapters describe the future technology of race cars, and what it's like to actually drive one. Perhaps you will be the first to develop some of these concepts. If you order the hard copy of AUTO2010, your chances are a lot better.
