Latające samochody w Genewie - Wydanie #88

March 12, 2018

"I've seen things you wouldn't believe..."

Tylko takim cytatem można zacząć jeśli dotykało się tych cholernie drogich (kilka milionów euro) pojazdów robionych na zamówienie (osiągających 300 MPH) oraz latający samochodzie (a właściwie dronie) wyprodukowanym przez Airbusa i Italdesign. A takich atrakcji w Szwajcarii była cała masa.

Targi motoryzacyjne w Genewie (byłem na nich po raz pierwszy na zaproszenie Mercedes-Benz Polska) to miejsce o którym słyszałem od dekady i dopiero teraz zobaczyłem na własne oczy. Wspierany przez kilku kolegów dziennikarzy spędziliśmy trzy dni na oglądaniu, fotografowaniu tych cudownych pojazdów i rozmowach z wystawcami. Poniżej garść refleksji.

Po pierwsze targi w Genewie zaczynają przypominać imprezy "techowe" - bardzo często hasła "elektryczny, autonomiczny" są wpisywane w slogany reklamowe marek. Stacje ładowania, kosmiczne kształty pojazdów, AI, dbanie o ekologię i zrównoważony rozwój - nie, to nie jest zlot startupów ale nadal impreza branży samochodowej.

Po drugie widać coraz większa obecność przemysłu i biznesu z Chin. Jako dostawcy, producenci ale również współwłaściciele (Chińczycy niedawno kupili udziały w Mercedesie). Jeśli ktoś wierzy, że rozwój samochodów elektrycznych może następować z pominięciem przemysłu chińskiego to zapraszam do Genewy.

Po trzecie bardzo szkoda, że "dobra zmiana" mając takie zasoby i możliwości prawne nic w zasadzie nie zrobiła z projektem polskiego samochodu elektrycznego. Budowa takiego pojazdu to konieczność stworzenia zaplecza badawczo rozwojowego, zatrudnienie specjalistów, danie im wyzwań i odpowiednich środków. Dostosowanie dróg, postawienie ładowarek, zmiany przepisów.

Po co? Po to żeby Polacy mieli swój, rodzimy "tech" a naukowcy i inżynierowie nie wyjeżdżali pracować za granicą. W końcu wstajemy z kolan i nie chcemy już wkręcać śrubek. A surowców ani ciepłego morza nie mamy.
