For some reason the most exciting technology from the Trekverse has always been the sensors to me. Perhaps because the computing and translating tech seemed too inevitable and everything else seemed too far-fetched - the sensors and scanners and tricorders always seemed just fictional enough to entice me and just possible enough to excite me. I especially liked the idea that the computers could use multiple kinds of sensors to build up a realistic-looking - but false - representation of things on the main screen, such as ships being lit up and weird spatial anomalies being visible.

I'd like to see some of these cars on the road. they are pretty affordable, so maybe I can convince my dad to get one when they come out. The lease on our car should be up by then anyways. I like how you can "refuel" them at home, so that even if there isn't an air station nerarby, which in all reality, there probably won't be, you still have "gas".

Speaking of refueling at home, isn't there a man somewhere who built a solar-powered water electrolysis station to provide his fuel cell car with unlimited free hydrogen...? (Bastard oil companies. Look how easy it is. It's the most common element in the Universe.)
