I run a blog (X Prize Cars) about the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize, a $10,000,000 prize for a race of 100 MPG vehicles. I created the blog in order to collect technical information and stories about the teams and their vehicles. I’ll present details of the prize, as well as the dozen most prominent teams/vehicles, and then open up the discussion for questions and concerns about the future of transport. http://xprizecars.com/ http://www.progressiveautoxprize.org/
