Ready, set, go: The Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE Competition is underway

Posted on July 21, 2010

Kevin Macdonald talks with Damien Somerset about ThinkWrap’s partnership with the X PRIZE Foundation in a project to inspire a new generation of safe, green and super efficient vehicles. You will be able to track the vehicles on the Google Map second by second along with performance indicators such as MPG energy equivalent (MPGe), speed, and CO2 emissions. There are $10 million in prizes to be won by the teams for the most efficient, production ready vehicles that can exceed 100 MPGe. Tune in live to view real-time data on the race at the Michigan Speedway as well as participate in discussions and watch other live videos from the sidelines.
