- Abstract:
The article reports on vehicles which use technology to be bigger, better, and go farther. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have teamed up with construction equipment company Caterpillar to develop the world's largest robotic dump truck. FastTransit, a magnetic levitation (maglev) technology company, tested a system that uses neodymium-iron-boron magnets alongside existing train tracks. Louis Palmer will be the first to make a round-the-world trip in a solar-powered car.
