Self-Powered Cars: The Future?

Tweet

CNN just published an article on a prototype that is being developed in London that could forever change the way we drive and consume resources. Volvo is working with Imperial College scientists to develop a car that would use composite materials to act as its own battery. Aside from the enormous cost savings for consumers, this would also help to reduce carbon footprints and natural resource consumption.

This is not the first attempt that has been made in this area. In 2008, the Paris Motor Show unveiled "The Eclectic," a self-powered electric car that had been designed by French carmaker Venturi.

It does not look like a bastion of safety.
