Automobiles

These TL 9 automobiles are powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Each wheel is turned by its own dedicated motor run by the electric current from the fuel cell. There is no central motor under the hood, no complex system of mechanical linkages and drivetrains. Each wheel is, to some extent, semi-autonomous and can adjust to current driving conditions. In GURPS terms, this gives a higher Handling than modern autos.

Hit Locations:

• Body - Treat as torso hit.
• Vitals - Treat as vitals hit.
• Fuel - HT roll on a major wound or worse to avoid catching fire. Roll at -3 for burning damage.
• Propulsion - Treat as leg hit.
• Tires - Treat as foot hit.
• Payload - Treat as a torso hit. Takes damage as if Homogenous. Passengers can only be hit if they are present. Smaller or larger passengers may have a different chance to be hit (GM's discretion; a child in a passenger car may only be hit on a 1-2 on the d6, a bear in the back seat on 1-5). If cargo is occupying a passenger's place, it may be hit instead (GM's discretion, depending on how large cargo is compared to hit location).
• Cargo - As payload, except no passengers can sit there.
