Submitted by Dan Thiede on Thu, 04/30/2009 - 16:45.
The Progressive Automotive X-Prize contest has attracted the likes of musician Neil Young and his music-video-friendly drop-top, the Indian mini-car maker Tata, the electric sports car Tesla and absolutely none of the big three automakers from Detroit.
The Minnesota teams in the contest each have to build a vehicle that carries four passengers, has four or more wheels, and can travel 200 miles without stopping for whatever fuels it.
