2009 SAE World Congress -- The Coolest Futuretech


2009 SAE World Congress -- The Coolest Futuretech - Motor Trend
Ferreting Out the Most Interesting Stuff from the Society of Automotive Engineers' Annual Event

This year's SAE World Congress was kicked off with a rousing speech by someone many of the engineers in the room may have wanted to throw vegetables at, California's CO2-reducer-in-chief, Governator A. Schwarzenegger. By way of conciliation he conceded that perhaps Detroit hadn't enjoyed as much regulatory support as it could have used in developing high-efficiency cars, and he concluded (about an hour late) with an offer to produce commercials for the Detroit Three's green cars free of charge. Thanks, awfully. Once the hot air dissipated, we set out to uncover the hidden gems of future tech that always lie hidden amongst the booths of gaskets, seals, and hard-candy dishes.
