If so, you may be in luck.
A group of researchers at MIT have developed an out-of-the-ordinary race car, one that isn't dependent on gasoline. That's right, the team has built a car that runs on solar power.
The car, dubbed Eleanor, can reportedly maintain a cruising speed of 55 mph and run all day -- if the sun is shining, according to MIT. To get that kind of power from sunlight, researchers have designed the car with six square meters of monocrystalline silicon solar cells and an improved electronic systems.
