So far just Renault has
So far just Renault has signed on to this program. Unless other car companies will follow suit, it's difficult to see this model go forward in its current form. This may force Better Place to build their own cars. There are some partnerships with Chinese car companies already, but if they are forced to go down this road, it may end up being a far more radical solution and one with even more risks. I see a cheaper dumber car, with a smart network. Maybe that's why the car companies are not balking.
