Congratulations!!! The Smart City Group (Bill Mitchell, Ryan Chin, etc.) win the Buckminster Fuller Challenge :-)

SPM/MoD isn’t just about the design of these lightweight, highly efficient, electric vehicles, it is about inserting that technological innovation into the social and cultural environment and designing an intuitive system within which they function. The technological innovation embodied in these vehicles is just one piece of a larger system design which addresses issues from pollution, to congestion, to urban space, to economics, to energy use, to the very idea of personal transportation and what that means in a world with nearly seven billion inhabitants. It truly is - in the Bucky tradition - a transformative solution rather than an isolated piece of technology.
