Abstract/Summary

The presentation reviews likely directions in automobile design.
"I’m going to talk about automobiles in year 2010 and beyond. Probably the only thing for sure about discussing the future is that regardless of what might seem apparent from our perspective in 1997, it probably will not turn out exactly as we envision it.
"This fellow’s concept of the car of the future was obviously shaped by his perspective on vehicle technology in 1911. And any long-range forecast we make today is just as likely to be colored by our own perspective in time.
"The future will of course be an extension of the present - we can look at our trajectory and feel fairly confident of where we’ll land - but we probably have a few surprises in store for us along the way.
"Still, the direction of today’s development efforts does provide a fairly good indication of where we’ll end up."

On a track at Edwards Air Force Base in California, Burnett was clocked at up to 151 m.p.h. (243 km/h) in his British Steam Car, which is 25 ft. (7.6 m) long, has 12 separate boilers and contains more than 2 miles (3 km) of tubing. It's affectionately nicknamed "the fastest kettle in the world."
