And yet think of all the economic benefit that would come with starting that new company. I don't know what you're thinking of as the difficulties , but my mind immediately went to the intense regulation involved. Too bad it isn't easier.
It's the initial investment, too big to even start thinking about it. Also I presume to improve your chances you need some serious names in your team. Probably not the "former Ferrari/Porsche product designer" caliber but something close.
Idk. You could probably get pretty far just starting with hand made custom cars. 5 guys, 4 welding machines and an electrical engineering degree could probably make a few in their first year to just get started.
