Hey, Amtrak!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have heard that the USA is similar to Russia because trains between major US cities run once a week... Actually it is once a day - but it is not yet Europe or China...

I have thought that you could build more traditional diesel trains and they could run more often a day between major American cities... This service should be kept alive even when the bullet-trains appear because diesel trains are of basic importance in the USA...

In the pictures: impressions of US railways...

The Magic Of Rolls-Royce - Power Output

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Rolls-Royce Phantom VII (2003-2017) had a naturally aspirated V12-engine of a power output of 460 HP out of 6.75 litres of displacement... The 460 HP remind me of the year 476 after Christ when the Western Roman Empire fell... I'm not surprised that the Jaguar and Rover car labels didn't survive the first decades of 21st Century...

Which Way?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is very interesting but so far interstellar spaceflight requires rather intelligent than powerful solutions... My idea continues this way...

It is known that you can create elementary particles which are faster than the speed of light by making slower-than-light particles collide... It is also known that it's very easy to computer processors which operate nearly at the speed of light to create strings of electrons and to combine electrons or strings of electrons with each other... I would say you can compose particles of super-light in computer processors you only wish... I wouldn't be so much surprised if intelligent computer processors could also function as the propulsion of interstellar spacecraft next to their conventional usage... In computer processors you make operations with electrons you want...

Instead of studying computer processors from the point of view of particle physics you can also make elementary particles collide in particle accelerators, of course... It's your decision...

Super-Brain - August 23rd 2025

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I don't think there is a chaos in the automobile industry... I don't think there is a crisis in the automobile industry... I only think that engineers in the car development don't know what to start with themselves... They must suffer immensely...

I think that engineers in the car development should go to develop interstellar spacecraft... That's needed... Thank you very much!

The Magic Of Rolls-Royce - Being Available

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Being available is a virtue anyway, especially when it's about emotions... Flexibility belongs to the concept of strength, also when it's about a company's product range...

Hereby I permit the design, development and production of a supreme-class Rolls-Royce car which is based on the BMW 7-series limousine... V12-, V8- and in-line-6 engines are to expect...

Concept Of 2 American Luxury Car Marques

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Recently, the luxury car label Maybach has tripled its presence on the market and Aston Martin has strengthened its market presence, too... The South-Koreans and the Japanese have appeared with luxury car labels as well... In such a market environment the luxury car labels Rolls-Royce and Bentley should strengthen their positions, too - you don't want to be so small, do you?

I have the idea that Rolls-Royce and Bentley should produce their cars also in the USA... Everything would remain at the British design and production methods, only the name of the marques would change to Rose (Rolls-Royce) and to Lilly (Bentley)... This multiplication of luxury products could provide with true luxury to enthusiasts of American cars and stability to the mother companies...

I have connected Rolls-Royce and Bentley in this blog post because I think the 2 British luxury marques are still very similar regarding their roots...

Concept Of A French Luxury Car Marque

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Everybody can imagine how comfortable and safe self-driving cars could be as machines - for example computers - are created in order to make human life easier and more secure... The comfort and safety of self-driving cars could be improved if big luxury limousines had autonomous driving on board, replacing the driver by computers and sensor systems... Big luxury limousines without driver had the advantage that society shouldn't train an army of private drivers and the owners of luxury cars shouldn't spend lots of time by searching for workforce to drive their vehicles - if the demand for big luxury limousines keeps growing on...

For the enthusiasts of practicality: in big luxury limousines without a driver and with autonomous driving you would get one seat free for an additional passenger - the former driver's seat... A seat with a view!

So I think that autonomous driving could be a luxury feature of every luxury car of the future...
