Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for your presentations. They were quite informative.

I have a specific technology question for Mr. Frise.

Has AUTO21 done any research into textile use for the skin of automobiles, such as polyurethane-coated spandex, as in the GINA project that BMW did in 2008? What are some of the challenges of using textiles for lightweighting in urban environments?
