This will be a rant. I'm sorry, but I really have to say this.
To those of you saying the iCar would have been a failure: go f--- off. Just seriously go f right off.
What single clue do you know about what Steve envisioned? And what right do you have to assume that the most successful visionary of our time wasn't well aware of the challenges. It may not even have been developed for another decade or two.
Why do you doubt? Is it because it's more comforting considering he won't be around to see this vision into fruition? Because you're smarter than he was? Or maybe you lack his ability to envision something that isn't just a hackneyed mesh of what's currently available, like most other companies end up doing.
Guess what, now that he's not here anymore it'll probably take an extra two decades or more for us to come close to what he may have developed, regardless of the level of success it may have found. Could have been a real revolution in travel. It may not have resembled the car as we know it at all.
Sure I could continue to argue that point and sure you could argue against it, but with what evidence? Revolution requires dreaming big-- exactly what he tended to do.
Remember the moment you found out about his death? Was it not a profound sense of loss? Regardless, was a great loss for everyone. The man wasn't finished.
So f off.

LOL. Since I hit the airport and leave the country the moment the crazed fanatics and lunatics march the streets, here I will commend Jobs as I can't leave town right now. Stevo-greedo was most likely smart enough to realize that he was dumb enough when it came to vehicle design/manufacturing/distribution and all other countless tasks required putting bunch of other dumbos effectively in cars and on the road, so he never did anything about. And it was a good thing.
I can however see some dangerous and crazed people, people with some twisted Stevo shrines at their homes, assuming a cult status, ready to do WTF knows what. Hey, you above, the only real revolution in travel I can envision in your case is a trip to a penitentiary.
