I finished reading Ingenious last week. It is very well written and edited - it feels like a book documentary, and it leaves you wanting more details. And I want to continue the conversation about all the various issues and concepts.
The X-Prize was far from perfect. I think they should have stayed FAR away from the detailed requirements, like a CAN bus, and a business plan, and the race in umpteen different places idea.
There are several people that I know of who would have loved to have been there, and we need to have a large variety of concepts and much more imaginative and innovative, and more exciting cars in the mix. If we had the Dolphin and The Zing! and as many more cars like that as we had conversions and tweaked Prii - then we would have gotten more out of the X-Prize.
