Actually, all of the vehicles have been getting great attention. Of course, those that have the most unique body design draw, but all of the teams have had great responses for a variety of reasons. Those vehicles that are attended to by their team (some have not had representation) have been getting the best crowd staying power. SEMA attendees have been great -- asking lots of questions, closely looking at the vehicles, and wanting to know when the vehicles will be on the market.

Thanks for the info and for the competition. I can't wait to buy one of these cars for my 50 mile round trip L.A. commute. Sitting in traffic spewing pollution with thousands of other car really opens your eyes to a need for electric autos.

Progressive Automotive X PRIZE Day #2 of the Team Summit involved more "Tech Talk", this time about the "race" portion of the competition. At the end of the day, we headed over to the exhibit space for a group photo.

I'm a wheelchair user from Italy and, since two years, I'm trying to keep the attention of the car makers on the need by wheelchair users of an accessible car that is accessible without aftermarket modifications.Recently, I've created some approaches to the problem and found some solutions that I proposed to several in...dependent cars and Ev's makers.Unfortunately the lack of a finished car design that turns my raw ideas ( excellent and innovative ideas, but raw) into a real car stopped me in proposing a solution that can be sold on the market.Merging my ideas about the accessibility and a well done design we can make a car that can be sold not only to the disabled, but to all the driver in the world, healthy and not.I've no way to finance such a full design of a car, but I'd be happy to share my ideas about the accessibility.Surely if my idea will turn is a commercial opportunity, I'd share the property of the design.I look forward to receive a feedback from someone who can be of helpRead More

Andrea - you are 100% correct and representative of a vast and undeserved sector!!

IF I remember correctly "Team Psycho-Active" had specifically addressed this with their X-Prize entry. Looking at their website (psycho-active.org) it appears they've since merged with "Team Global-E". (global-e.us)

Pretty cool because Global-E is one of the few that made it through PIAXP's 'cuts' and are actually at SEMA!!!... Read More

Hopefully they are still considering this. For expedience you may want to contact them directly.

Wish I was in a position to help more!!

All the best!

If the claims of safety and 300 mpg are correct ...and if it can be made even half way affordable...then they may have something. Given those 3 caveats, I would love to have a car like this.
