As I write this, the count-down is on for the Progressive Automotive X-Prize winners announcement. This is a live event.
I had been planning, with the award announcement, to take the time to do a post on this prize, the process, and the winners. In short, this Prize (with 12 finalists of 111 teams with 137 entrants) seeks to help drive, with a $10 million award, forward more energy efficient automobiles.
Why this quick post? And a post that will be a running commentary? Because I had not realized that the award process is actually taking place in Washington, DC, 'around the corner from me'. And, well, if it is hard to get to the Historical Society of Washington in just a few minutes the car winners will be on Capitol Hill this afternoon.
