      Kind of counter-intuitive to "limit" them. The Outback is "mostly" deserted. A better approach might be to make them subject to seeding tickets when nearing towns like "any other car". if I were driving a 200+ mph Porsche 911 Turbo S through the deserted outback, I would "very likely" be in excess of the posted limit, away from towns. Enough to where a Cessena 210 isn't keeping up....

    I took part in my university's Shell Eco Marathon race which is essentially this but on a track and less extreme. I think people underestimate the difficulty of manufacturing. Even to achieve simple things like reducing panel gaps and obtaining a non-warped plexiglass windscreen, it take tens of hours of sanding and work. Seeing such perfect and clean looking models really goes to show the years of design and development that goes into them,

      The GM team brought it to Purdue when I was a grad student there. It was a dramatic picture of what was possible- space-grade solar cells from Hughes, custom electric motors from AC Delco, wind tunnel testing at Caltech, and a massive support team including a car that went ahead and provided a constant feed of weather conditions. I asked the GM rep how much it all cost and his answer was "Enough to win." If you can't outsmart 'em, outspend 'em!
