Still, that would further aid the Prius' fuel efficiency since it wouldn't have to waste gas on the little things. Of course, the question remains as to how well the car would store sun power when turned off. Also, it likely wouldn't provide anything if it was sitting in a covered garage without easy access to the sun.
Only time will tell whether solar paneled cars bring us one step closer to emulating the Jetsons or if it's just another "Go Green" gimmick. Of course, Jetsons style cars would probably require pilot licenses, huh?
