Question How-Solar cars on public roads ?

Hey guys I have a question for you all :

I notice that although solar cars are almost always followed by chase vehicles, they still seem to lack turn signals and rear view mirrors that the rest of us use for safety. Add to this the fact that the cars are so tiny that they appear almost invisible to other drivers.

What all is involved in getting these cars legal for road travel ?



On a related note, I would love to ride a 'velomobile' HPV to work, but the idea seems impossible. Do any of you folks actually ride your 'bikes' on public roads ? If so, how do you signal when you want to brake or turn ?

Thanks
