Thinking to build the next generation of farm tractor : We need it in Europe ! Farm tractors are very expensive and sold with many useless opinions. And these Farm Tractors could be developpe inside of CUMA. (CUMA are an regroupment of some farmers to buy them specific equipments).
Interesting talk, but I wonder how many of the Wikispeedsters know anything about scaling out for mass production. If they tried to setup mass production they would run into the problem they illustrated where the cost of a mold for a door has to be amortized over several years. They avoid that now by building one car at at time. The agile processes that they borrowed from software development teams are typically used on small teams of less than a dozen engineers. And of course developing software is far different from mass production or any other manufacturing process. It is well suited for building prototypes, but there's a big difference between a prototype and a large scale production system.
I think he's more about changing long held beliefs and looking at new ways which can be incorporated into mass production but the development will be faster and cheaper.
+YvesHanoulle - Exactly which of the ideas in the video has Toyota adopted? It's been a while since I listened to this Ted Talk but at one point he talks about one worker teaching a new worker what he needs to know about engines in order to build a car. I wouldn't want a car built on an assembly line whose workers didn't already know what they needed to know about engines.
+YvesHanoulle - Here's a reality check on WikiSpeed's manufacturing prowess: "We have encountered a block in our engine module development and need your help to continue.Sadly, we’ve failed to deliver a car a running engine since car 002. Our only successful customer deliveries since have been to groups that opted not to purchase an engine module. We haven’t been able to get stable and durable running engines in any of our cars since car number 002.

I wouldn't want to buy a car from them, however.
One of the best videos I saw in months. The wikispeed car currently costs $25,000, still a little pricey for people with low income, but considering it only uses 1 gallon per 104 miles, it is a good investment. And the car looks really cool :D
mama's boys? Some of the greatest minds in the world are actually mama's boys! Have you heard of Grigori Perelman? He's Field Medalist (highest award in Mathematics) is a Bum that still lives with his mom, but guess what? He's the Greatest Mathematician in the world! Maybe we need more Mama's boys to run this world and it would be alot better place!
actually......"Food Based Dinner" is not a ridiculous consideration given the current issues involving synthetic derived "food substances" such as nutrasweet, etc. Can we safely say that all the food available on the market is "food based"?
The only Reason they have to sell is because their material suppliers are STILL in the Archaic Capitalistic system of charging for those resources. This is the beginnings of a Transition to resource-based economy!
In a monetary system, efficiency and sustainability are the enemies of profit. Let's shift towards a resource based economy so that we can all benefit from the advances of technology.
this is brilliant, with guys like this around- i wonder why the FUCK we even bailed out GM. Its people like this guy's turn to take the future of automotive. make a car cheaper than an ipod, and i'll buy it.
LMAO...are there still zeitgeist nuts wandering around? "Resource based economy"?!? Economies are how resources are distributed, so what you said is a redundancy, like saying "Food based Dinner"
living off the system and being bum? What is your definition of someone not living off the system? because as I can see, we all are dependent on the system for our welfare. Business Owners depend on the money of consumers, and the labors of their employees, while employees depend on the income provided by the business owners. To me, EVERYONE lives off the system! You sound like a Republican!
goosebumps! amazing what a team of people can do together with the simple ideas supporting Agile methodologies. Don't stop!!!!

+Dean Schulze wel toyota has proven that these ideas work in the automotive industry at scale.

I would build a car before I bought one. These cars are so simple a high school student could build one.
Simply outstanding!!!
Exponitional simplicity. I love you guys! Scrum on!!!!
This is just freeking awesome!! Congrats!
This is awesome! Change the way the world innovates!
You guys are awesome!
WOW - just WOW WOW WOW

Where is the carbon fiber class at?
Awesome!
This is really great!
you need to share this info with as many people as possible to avoid "terrorist attacks"! Well done all of you.
Epic!
Holy cow, it's Russ Bugaboo!
I'll help with Agile for social good --- where?
@cr0uchingtiger could you elaborate?
EPIC!
Wow this is 11 years ago
Amazing. These humans are worth fighting for.
great stuff
I 'm inspired and like play with the idea and implement it. I mean the step further to solve something, something political, any callers?
KEEP UP THE AWESOME !!!!! :-))
WIKISPEED Rocks!
who came from tesla ex employee?

How do I join team Wikispeed
In a monetary system, efficiency and sustainability are the enemies of profit. Let's shift towards a resource based economy so that we can all benefit from the advances of technology.
An Agile Passion Based Economy.
i'm like, how the fuck is this even possible...
3:30 just nonsense - those people who build the car body cost more than 800$ total per 3 days.
@cr0uchingtiger
Leave politics at the door or you'll find the number of volunteers cut in half.
Best of all, this is the first car company to accept payment in Bitcoins!!!!
this is brilliant, with guys like this around- i wonder why the FUCK we even bailed out GM. Its people like this guy's turn to take the future of automotive. make a car cheaper than an ipod, and i'll buy it.
LOL zeitgeist Nuts??? Is that what you call us?
Is that your only example??
Contrast that with the millions of mama's boys out there living off the system being bums
Well... it's so bad that in some countries you can't drive a car like this. Bureaucracy ruining the innovation in action... :(
LMAO...are there still zeitgeist nuts wandering around?
"Resource based economy"?!? Economies are how resources are distributed, so what you said is a redundancy, like saying "Food based Dinner"
capitalism and true technological growth are mutually exclusive.
