>Graphene might be in your car and its batteries in your lifetime

literally the only thing that makes me not lose all hope in the automotive future (yet)

'Might' be?
As I understand it, it WILL be, and how long only depends on how much of a dickhead the guy with the patent is going to be.
Also super-strong plastic bodywork and ultralight titanium parts on performance car.

>As I understand it, it WILL be
Might as in -in your lifetime- meaning it might get postponed a ton of times until we finally have feather light batteries or cars using this instead of sheet metal.

It does seem likely that it will be a big thing but the development still seems to be slow

It will come. My sister's working on stuff that I think could lead to it.
But then, she's working in a field that requires a PHD in physics, specialising in crystallography. I think I need a bachelors degree in it to even understand what she's talking about when I ask her.

hopefully we still have some years left between graphene usage and the finally mandatory selfdriving car

Why exist in human form when you will exist for all eternity in form of energy anyways?
