Will tomorrow’s cars run and look like the award-winning solar vehicle Stella Vie? Hopefully as safe and efficient, as shown on the Siemens test track in Munich. In combination with Car2X technology, the solar car is even more energy-efficient, safer and predictive. Stella Vie is designed and built by the “Eindhoven Solar Team”.
