Do you expect all cars in all countries in all situations to have the same engine? Do WANT all cars to have the same engine?

@mollydotcom Actually, if the car engine was robust and flexible enough and built from open source designs, then yes. :)

@balmer Yay! Are you proposing Open Source vehicles? Will I need to get on IRC for tech support? And what if someoen advises me wrong ;) ?

@mollydotcom No, but open source designs for vehicles, that would be interesting. Keep manufacturers in the loop; reduce patent clutter. :)
