RE: Supercomputer helps turn big-rigs into energy efficient 'SmartTrucks'
Next thing they should do is implement a flywheel-based hybrid
system, that would really boost efficiency.

Flywheels better suited for stop-start driving. In a long haul truck
that makes very few stops, aerodynamics will have a much greater
impact. I would love to see more applications of flywheels, but I
think they would be better suited for commuter cars and busses.
