I have always wondered how Spiber Inc. was going to use their spider proteins in car parts. I had assumed air bags or interior fabrics or the like. Recently, i came across the BMW GINA (Video Here)

It was introduced back in 2008 and utilizes a light fabric body made of polyurethane-coated Spandex. If car companies start mimicking this design, then this material that needs to be both strong and elastic would be an ideal application for spider silks.

Assuming a Japanese car company gets exclusive rights to Spiber's silks and it becomes popular enough to create demand in the general car market, there are still dozens of others that will be scrambling to get their hands on some other fibers to create something similar.

Maybe Kim should appeal to BMW about this once he can actually get a commercial facility up and running.
