Any and all donations and support to Team WIKISPEED (WIKISPEED Inc.) are treated as micro-investments. If we realize profit, we commit to repaying all of you plus any return responsible, so that if we profit you profit too. This is not at all over seen by the FTC, is fuzzy math because we can't yet commit to any rate of return, and please keep in mind we have no profit motive and intend to invest revenues directly back into our ability to deliver. But if we do realize profit, you will too.

Monthly contribution!


One Time Contribution

All funds will be put to good use, and may or may not be in direct relationship to the idea listed here. E.g., if you send us $10 a month, we may spend some of it on on drill bits. We hope that is OK with you, and we really appreciate it!"

Safety

Tags: impact testing, simulation, FEA, NHTSA, IIHS

The best case scenario is for us to find a tragic safety flaw. That means we have found it before we have any more cars on the road. That said, we have conducted simulated and physical impact testing, in credentialed facilities, to national standards, and do have high confidence that we surpass road legal safety specification minimums and deliver a high level of safety. That is to say, while we have no reason to suspect a safety flaw, we must not ever stop examining for one, and must always take advantage of knowledgeable folks offering to help collaborate with us on safety systems and testing. There will always be un-informed nay-sayers, and we have to be comfortable with that too and not take time doing more than sharing evidence with those that are not informed or interested in helping us improve. And, a very serious note on this same line: We make cars. Some day, someone will die in an accident involving a WIKISPEED car. We must be as emotionally ready as possible for that, and know that we have done our absolute utmost to protect those inside and outside our vehicles, and yet be mature enough to know that infinite crash safety does not yet exist even though we will relentlessly pursue it. -Joe Justice

    I love the look and could definitely see buying one of these. The safety tests look great, my only concern would be rollover. A U shaped role bar of some sort would be a welcome addition. Keep up the good work.
