  Spectacular AI Generated Design for the Apple Car                                                            Source:  John Mauriello Design Apple Sports Car With Aerodynamic Style and Elegance A brand new, artificial intelligence designed Apple concept car from independent creators is a work of automotive art.  Some automotive experts say this design, with its aerodynamic lines and smooth styling, could give Tesla EVs a run for their money.  The design was created by the AI artist studio Dall-E2 using artificial intelligence, at the request of San Francisco based industrial designer John Mauriello who utilizes new technologies as the basis of his creations.  The results are spectacular and deliver what you might expect an Apple car would look like.  Specific Parameters Mauriello spec...

  Green Zero Emissions Commuting                                             Source:  Sea Change Green Waves of Energy in San Francisco Bay In a first of its kind in global public transportation, a hydrogen powered ferry is being prepared to launch on San Francisco Bay this summer.  The Sea Change ferry is totally propelled by hydrogen fuel cells and emits only water and heat. Unlike the rest of the maritime industry of tankers, ocean liners, pleasure boats, tugs and more that spew noxious diesel fuel pollution, the hydrogen ferry is totally emissions free and does not pollute the environment.  The developers say it is clean, efficient and makes sense economically on scale - meaning it has the potential to be a profitable and growing commercial business operation.  Non-Polluting Maritime Operations  The Sea Change is the beginnin...
