Introduction

  • Started as personal project in 2006, much greater concept came in 2008
  • Joe Justice commits to share all that he knows on cars with Open Source Ecology.
  • $180k/year. $110k/year to Team Wikispeed.
  • Team wikispeed: $400k away from ultra-efficient car.
  • 6 days per week.
  • Wikispeed is agile/scrum/lean, but not exactly that.

Step 1

Define a minimum marketable feature

  • Minimum for given date

Here is the ultraefficient modular car

  • Today Team Wikispeed is - 2%
  • Early Adopters - 20%

Existing WikiSpeed drive train

  • Transmission/ 2WD
  • 40"x40"xn" tall cradle with standardized electrical c
  • 0-80 ohm signal coming in, transmission and differential
  • Power level, f,r,park signal, fuel level, temperature
  • Axles out at a sch 80 SAE 4130 pipe

Opensource = people paid by size of their ego

  • There was a lot of information hiding until release
  • Antisocial person was stereotype
  • 250 lb sweaty guy who says 'I control the internet'
  • Not the zen buddhist, but cult of personality
