We all dream of electric open source vehicles and public transit!
Like electric bicycles with controllers that can be easily swapped, programmed, and tinkered with?
Yes, but also for cars, VTOL's, trams, trains. HSR, boats, submarines, airplanes, etc that people can make. In future airships similar to Treasure Planet (but for on-planet not in space), and spaceships as more. Mechs, exosuits, etc are other stuff open source community-run would be good for
