The speculation about Honda and GM and ICE looks to be clarified. It is driverless vehicles.

Its going to be hard to compete with Elon Musk and Tesla if they stay in operation.

He has his own rockets and satellites

Instead of an LS swap, swap in an electric motor

GM showed a modular electric motor swap kit at SEMA just last year that can be had with a Chevy LS transmission bolt pattern to easily pair it with a variety of transmissions. If you can't wait for that, though, EV West has another way to easily add electric power to your classic.

The company announced on Facebook that it would soon start selling a Tesla crate motor kit. And the important part is that it is fitted with brackets that allow it to be bolted into anything with mounts for either a Chevy LS or Chevy small-block V8.

A Lordstown Motors production Test Mule burned to the ground in a Fire In Michigan. This is the new Endurance electric pickup truck.

I see this LiquidPiston engine company on some of the investment sites

LiquidPiston’s engines are up to 10x smaller and lighter than traditional diesel engines and increase efficiency by 30% thanks to the company’s patented thermodynamic cycle.

Less weight, space, vibration, noise, fuel consumption… More power. Building on over 15 years of R&D, LiquidPiston provides a power solution that can scale to address the needs of the $400B internal combustion engine market and is a key enabler for emerging mobility technologies including electric cars, urban aircraft, and drones.

Maybe some hope for a classic car exception (JB is the original owner)
