nano- lets keep it wrapped

I think too mych is being said and argued for the machine which has still not see roads. Evry crit should be answred the day its rolled on streets. Yes one fact remains, This is not innovation. yes I firmly believe this, Innovation is not bringing the cost down by any means. Innovation would have been if car would have costed 1 lac, and still would have run on battery. that is innovation...yes this is an engineering feat and it should be honoured and respected and awarded, but when tbhe car sees road, only then. Also other point I want to make is that there is no comparison with 2 wheeler, wheather car costs 1 lac or more. 2 wheeler is 2 wheeler and has its own advantacge and disadvantage. car is car. parking of 2 wheeler costs 5 rs, while car costs 20 rs. car has its own maintenance issues etc etc. so its just not initial cost but its cost of running finally on road. finally the car is always more dangerous and unsafe if its small and also light. As the car is a box on raod, any hit from Tata truck is more likely to drag it down..so Tata should also try maing their trucks and buses more safer on roads.
