Auto executives plan to carpool to D.C.

You know what that means.
Road trip!
Think they’ll blog about it? And take pictures of the Kum & Go? And pick up other execs along the way?
Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., was the one who asked the executives if they flew commercial to Washington, D.C. None had.
I suppose Sherman had a decent question. So when will he get his D.C. colleagues to start road-trippin’ in and out of the city? Or maybe he’ll convince them to hitchhike when they go on their PR junkets to Iraq.

Instead of just carticipating to D.C., they should encourage all dealerships to mark all their vehicles as “carticipation ready”. Giving one or two people a lift in a Suburban beats the gas mileage on a prius, and it is a much nicer ride. That is how you get those cars of the lots.
We gave a talk on carticipation at the Silicon Valley iPhone Developers’ Meetup in Palo Alto last week and posted the video here (select “high quality” mode):
