Premium car brand Audi is to invest $79.5 billion dollars over the next five years in self-driving electric cars.
This modern day Elon Musk created his own Tesla after reading some articles on the Internet and applying a bit of elbow grease! Belarussian Sergei Rusakov converted his aging Citroen AX into a homemade electric car. The Minsk resident, who has no formal training or education, ordered the necessary parts after researching the technology himself, and installed the parts into his dilapidated vehicle in his own garage.
The Stella Vie, touted as the world's first solar-powered family car, was unveiled on Wednesday by Eindhoven University. The award-winning fully solar vehicle is the brainchild of Lightyear, Eindhoven University of Technology's "solar team." The car's ability to run in any city with an electric grid, means that it does not need any special infrastructure, long an obstacle for electric cars. Additionally, the car features independent in-wheel motors for each wheel, large indoor space for family use and large storage space due to the absence of a central engine.
This odd-looking solar powered vehicle was built by one elderly Chinese man, who had only one goal in mind. 64-year-old Wang Yongzhi built the car so that he and his wife Zhang Shuyan could travel through China on a budget. The solar-powered vehicle can cover a distance of over 120 miles with good sunlight and reach a speed of around 30 miles per hour, but the two-seater can also use gas as a backup when the weather is bad.
