Solar Roadways are About to Become a Reality Sooner Than You Think

Now just what exactly is it?

It’s the stuff of the future. Here and now. It’s a whole lot of things at once. Or at least it claims to be. Prototypes are currently under testing and Scout Willis, I mean, Scott, an electrical engineer and Julie Brusaw his counselor wife (apparently childhood sweethearts) through their Indiegogo campaign, have come up with photovoltaic, LED emitting, design-configuring, electric-car charging, thief-detecting, hexagonal glass plates that function as the surface of the roads. Imagine a stretch of roads entirely covered in glass but yet somehow the surface is as good as the asphalt and cement ones we have now.
