For some odd years the Los Angeles car shop has made a car challenge, where you make a dedign of a car that you would like to have in the future or a car that you want built. So the car that you design shouldent have so many of earths materials so that you are helping the earth as well. So people had to make cars that were energy used and they had to be light weight no more then 1,000lbs and it had to be able to hold 4 passenger or more. 7 people went into the challenge and there are some pics below about the car a pic with the car. 

So the first car is a Honda Air, It is a electric car that had the inspired by the skydiving wing suits. The glass of the car is able to recycle and the cars metal and others are from a junk yard that were spray painted and the car is only 800lbs. The car has a vegetable based polymer panel.

The next car is made by Mercedes in Japan. The car is called Mayback DRS, the car is fully electric and the car is controlled by a computer that is plugged into a big city transport instructed. The cool thing about the car is that it can be pedaled by the man/ woman so that will driving it is giving you exercise. 


   The next car is a Mazda MX-0, the Mazda is also electric, the people who made this car had three things in there mind to make the car perfect zero weight, zero carbon emission and zero mass. To make the car they  had to use lightweight materials and the car has a super suspensor in the back. 

 
So as you an see the car shops are trying to stop pollution and the destruction of our earth, so they are trying to make environmentally friendly cars that look super cool and that people will enjoy and will keep for the rest of there lives. I think that this paper of these cars is a great idea and if i had my license i would absolutely  get one of these cars.
