Okay, so I was thinking… how cool and creative the roads could be in another 5 years and came up with this business idea. I feel like this would provide me with so many laughs. It would be like a whole new world. If someone does this, let me know give me 1% ownership and I'll be happy. build-a-car.com (or whatever web address is available and cool) Potential Partner: Elon Musk Business Plan: Design Your Own Car Website Objective: To allow anyone to build a car of their own design at an affordable price Price: ($1,000 - $5,000 starting range, even if cost of manufacturing is artificially low for initial release until mass production is scaled) able to upload/create own design, has preloaded selections, one can buy highly rated designs from people within platform Needs: Design Tool, Design Upload Capability Metal, Carbon Fiber, etc Large 3D Printing Machines Leverage video game technology for the car building process. Interior design selections. Full prototype component compatibility checks. Compatibility requirement standards are very important. example warnings: Weight of engine warning Automotive Grade Components Automated Check based on government requirement standards at the end of the design to see if the car is accepted based on local and regional regulations (safety standard, road standards). Target Market: Start with a single location to test as a proof of concept. Contingent Liability Insurance: Pending litigation on accidents or requirement standard system malfunctions Most Similar Product on Market: Ferrari Design Kit Expansion Markets: Boats, Campers, Jets Potentially live expert review process before checking out.

This is one of the reasons why we didn’t develop ZNAPS into a whole charging cable. We haven’t infringed on Apple's patent. lol

on a laptop the power cord is frequently attached while you use it and someone walking by can trip and pull the whole thing down, so a magnetic plug lets it detach and avoid damage. with a phone you charge it on a short cord and mostly at night when there's little foot traffic so it's much less useful if they really get around apple patents with their scheme, they should combine it with one of those universal power adapters and sell it to pc laptop havers bc that actually has a potential market
