Not only that, but Elio's LOI says that they share that info with Alpine 4. So someone else who knows all about my behavioral patterns and whereabouts and can sell that to marketers. Awesome.

"The LOI between Alpine 4 and Elio Motors also includes the sharing of such things as sales data and user acceptance, and all data collected from the cloud-based 6th Sense Auto System."

So... optional?

What are you trying to say? Your statement is not making sense. Where does the Metro engine come into this? Nobody said anything about installing a Metro powertrain...

Sorry...no more late night posts...ELIO definitely has a proprietary 3 cylinder engine built by none other than IAV. Just meant to say that EM Digital Buck cad is an innovative way to maximize aerodynamic & weight efficiencies...most cars as well as other products in & out of the auto industry are designed this way...creating excellent reliability and durability.

This appears to be a complete view of the body panels.
The exhaust bulge is absent as reported at the LA auto show.
Notice the hole at the bottom.

I was hoping they would route the Tail Pipe straight to just under the rear cowling with a downturn, invisible .
If that hole is for exhaust, mine will need a piece of chrome sticking out or around it.

Why not Chrome rocker panels? We used to install them on a bunch of different cars.

Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. (ALPP), a technology and manufacturing company developing products for the national automobile dealership market, announced today the introduction of a new product for automobile dealers called BrakeActive™, a safety device that improves a vehicle's third brake light to greatly reduce or prevent rear-end collisions. According to the National Highway Safety Administration (2010), most rear-end collisions can be reduced by 90 percent if trailing vehicles had one additional second to react.

The BrakeActive technology is the newest addition to Alpine 4's subsidiary ALTIA's strong line of products developed for automotive dealers to increase their profitability and efficiency. ALTIA is also currently marketing an innovative product suite called 6th Sense Auto created for the modern "connected car" and dedicated to helping large dealerships improve their inventory management, engine diagnostics, service maintenance and personalized customer support through wireless, cloud-based software.

www.qcamfg.com[/a]. Timmy Nguyen, President of QCA, has this to say, "QCA is proud to partner with ALTIA to manufacture and produce their automotive products. QCA brings years of high-tech manufacturing experience to ALTIA and Alpine 4 and has assisted in the design, development and production of many products in various industries."

"BrakeActive is an exciting new generation of brake light technology that can substantially increase safety for millions of drivers on the roads today," said Luke Roe, President of Alpine 4's subsidiary ALTIA, which owns the 6th Sense Auto and BrakeActive technologies. "It also represents an important new revenue and profit source for our current and future automobile dealership customers."

Alpine 4 has filed for patent protection for the BrakeActive technology.

So... a third brake light for the Elio? Maybe? Perhaps a predictive 3rd Brake light? I suppose that makes sense. Think about all the vehicles out there with advanced safety systems. It's great that your car will stop by itself before hitting something. What about that truck following you? Wouldn't it be a neat safety add-in if your car could turn on the brake lights sooner? A half second earlier would give that truck 44 more feet of stopping before hitting you. (at 60 mph)

And I bet if people got off of their "iStupid" phones and video map displays they would have that additional one second that they need to react.
