In a world where fuel has been a hindrance in allowing public transportation to serve the public better, alternative methods of using fuel are in the limelight. Electric cars are being buzzed up and we see most countries unveiling various options such as this solar powered cab that roams Malibu.
No one can attest to it better other than famous director James Cameron who experienced riding in these solar powered cabs firsthand. Cameron is known to be a hit when it comes to futuristic films and this time around, he is not only playing around with them in his mind, he is living the fruits of the future at this very moment.
The famous director (who we should also mentioned embraced the past with Titanic), was spotted a couple weeks ago at the Malibu Arts Festival checking out and riding around in the Solartaxi; the first completely solar-powered car to drive around the world. As one would expect, this is an emissions-free vehicle that derives its power completely from the sun. It seats two, has three wheels and pulls a trailer covered in solar panels to charge the batteries in the front of the car. It has a top speed of about 50mph and can do roughly 100 miles on a six-hour charge. So far, the inventor, Louis Palmer, has taken the vehicle to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, New Zealand and now North America.
