Local Motors' objective to crowdsource their car designs is good for the company, the crowd and the customers themselves. Not only does the company stand to gain a profit, but also lots of fans by allowing designers to show their skills and contribute to creating stylish yet efficient car designs.
This is awesome..if one of their focuses is environmental efficiency then sourcing designs to the crowd is great way to get worthwhile ideas, instead of just limiting their brainstorming to a few employees. Plus designing my own car would be sweet!
