Looking at all of these I'm happy to know that computer precision and magnets are replacing our traditional engines. We've gotten really good at squeezing every bit of efficiency out of internal combustion, but it's wild to me that, as someone else said, "boom make car go." Controlled explosions feels very archaic for how much effort we put into driving.
