Description
With the constantly changing emission laws placed on vehicles today, several automotive companies are looking into many different sources of power for future vehicles. One of these companies. General Motors, has focused on one particular source by putting on a competition in which several universities from throughout the country build and race their vehicles across the country using only one source of energy: solar power. Solar power is one of the relatively "unknown" power sources for transportation but with this competition, of which we have been a part every year, we may draw closer to making solar-powered vehicles ultimately more than just a dream, a reality.
