The X PRIZE Foundation has narrowed down the contestants for the Auto X Prize for their $10 Million dollar prize purse. It’s been exciting to see the contestants and there vehicles develop over the past year and a half.

It will continue to be exciting to see the new technologies and vehicles that will eventually drive us into the future!
