The Automotive X Prize Launched

11 April 2007

Remember the X Prize that gave a boat load of cash to a team that
could get a passenger vehicle into space safely and cost-effectively?
Now they’re working on an automotive X Prize hoping to create a
viable, affordable, safe, highly efficient car. The teams building the
vehicles must have a business plan and show that the car is able to be
manufactured on a large scale.

The prize itself has not been announced, but the guidelines are up on
the site for review and feedback (a nice first step to ensure they’ve
considered everything).

The competition will end with a race, which would be nice to have on
television, in 2009. The X Prize foundation will be working to bring
the winning car to production. Visit the Automotive X Prize site.
