Automotive Innovation at the San Diego International Auto Show [View all]

[nadinbrzezinski]

Dec 31, 2015 (San Diego) The San Diego International Autno Show is not just a place where you can find the latest production vehicles, but also concept vehicles. This year you can go see a second place in the 2010 XPrize competition. This little vehicle will surprise you. The innovations in it are impressive. The goal of producing a vehicle that uses less energy during production, and less energy overall, and has recycled materials points to the way to real innovation.

It is out of the XPrize that a term we are all starting to get used to emerge: Equivalent Miles per Gallon, EMPG for short. This means what would take to move something 100 miles on regular fuel.

These were the guidelines set by Progressive Insurance and the XPrize Foundation. They also used funds in a public-partnership with the United States Department of Energy.

I am willing to bet I could call this my exclusive because large media will not talk to people trying to disrupt the current model of vehicle production.

But we decided to make this a stand alone story... because quite frankly this is the kind of technology that will see us having far more efficient and green vehicles. Oh and how cool is that? We got to meet somebody who participated in that contest. Some of the others, well actually my local university Engineering team, but they never got that close to the top.
