Congressional Resolution Appluades Automotive X prize

People love their cars. They are vital links to our jobs, our community, ourselves. For everything we love about them, cars are chained to the most severe global crises of our time: oil dependence and climate change.

The aim: to break this deadlock through the most radical approach to innovation yet - the X PRIZE.

The Automotive X PRIZE will invite teams from around the world to focus on a single goal: design viable, clean and super-efficient cars that people want to buy.

This will be a race for the ages, with major publicity and a big sack of cash waiting for the champion, and perhaps our future hanging in the balance.

$10 million is up for grabs in international green car competition.

Fifty international teams will vie for the Automotive X Prize, building vehicles that are energy efficient, clean, and safe.
