This is why the solar powered cars we have made look like UFOs. Making it solar powered isn't the hard, making the most efficient land vehicle ever created is the hard part. This technology will never come to fruition for the average person because it's just impractical.

Even putting a solar panel on a regular electric car and leaving it to charge for 12 hours a day from your sunny southern California driveway doesn't make much sense because the area of the car is so small. It hardly offsets any of the power required to charge it.
