Google Develops Fleet Of Fuel-Efficient Cars

Want to improve your car’s efficiency?  Maybe you should hand the keys over to Google; in conjunction with Hymotion/A123Systems, the search engine giant has developed “a small fleet of plug-in hybrids,” and the vehicles have demonstrated a striking ability to slurp less gas.

For those of you hoping to see some exotic prototypes, sorry.  For those of you worried about seeing some exotic prototypes (which are frequently expensive and unable to perform in real-world conditions), rest easy - a picture provided by Google shows a normal-looking YouTube video, but this shouldn’t be the last time you hear about those vehicles; according to a press release, Google.org will “fund more than $10 million to accelerate plug-in hybrid and vehicle-to-grid technology.”
