Remember a few years ago when Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio convinced all those
Appropriately enough, the Kyoto University Venture Business Laboratory has designed a concept vehicle that operates not only on electrical charges but will function as a power source for camping trips (for those who can’t be without their limos while camping). The car, which has a stretched look of a limo, has solar cells located on the roof, a body made of biodegradable plastics and specially-designed wheels that move independently allowing for sideways motion.
There’s a demonstration of the vehicle so you can get a handle on just what this new car is like. Right now the car is still a concept vehicle and we know how easy it is to have good intentions, but the flowers decorating the car, a throwback to Japanese lacquer decoration, give us a good feeling inside.

The usability of it as just a solar panel, whilst not being used as a car (e.g. campsite power) is a great feature, and hopefully it can also be used to provide energy for your home.
And with the recent advancement in dyed-solar-panels, solar powered cars may become a viable reality (and hopefully this limo will make use of such advances)

This would be a fun ride. Parallel would only be a problem because of the size, being able to move like a crab helps squeeze into tight spots. The sharing a residence because of 0 gas emissions, doesn't seem likely. Neat nonetheless.
