I'll have to look into that. I've read some about the laws put in place during it's rise to prominence (getting out at every intersection, honking horns, waving flags, before proceeding) etc. Any suggested starting points?

I've recently read a bit about some of the various trends in the automotive world that were shut down, not because they were bad, but because they didn't fit in the business model of those in charge. And yep - these include the old electric cars which 100 years ago, still got better mileage on a charge than many current models, using hemp as a plastic-like material for the bodies of cars, steam cars, etc. I like some of the out-of-the-box thinking that's returning (though often it's just pulling ideas from the past that got shut-down) like the compressed air vehicles.
