There is a fantastic article on the BBC News website, regarding a new hydrogen car:

There are way too many new designs in the market for hydrogen cars and I wouldn’t normally post anything about them. What I found interesting about this one, is the fact that the manufacturer is planning on making the design plans open source. Their idea is that by doing so, they will have a lot more people actually working on the design of the car, which means that they collective intelligence will speed up the development process. Which is what happens with anything that’s open source anyway.
We are gradually moving on to a world that understands the advantages of the open source movement. I’m thinking that our grand-children will find it difficult to understand why we it took us so long to convert everything to open source…
