Suddenly, the flexible, foldable cellphones in the movie Ultraviolet (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370032/), or the suit worn by the heroic lead in the SyFy series Continuum (http://www.syfy.com/continuum) don't seem so far-fetched. :)

I was just wondering what implications this could have on the Automotive Industry. Clearly, the longevity needs to be addressed, but once that hurdle has been past, these batteries could be woven into just about anything. Could be the future of the Electric Car.  :)

It would certainly be a major space saver for the electric car that's for sure Diesel
