That clickbait reads like chewing on tinfoil. My amygdala compels me to go ALL CAPS: THE SOLAR PANELS C H A R G E THE FRICKING BATTERIES!1!!

But that's not all:

The Aptera prototype hits the streets... At night. When there's no sun. We suspect this prototype doesn't have the solar panels on it
I can't even. It must be an attempt at humour. It must be. No one can really be that stupid can they?

Sorry folks, I needed to get that out.

That western clipper, on the other hand, is sweet music to my nostalgia nodes.

Driverless lorry allowed on public Swedish roads

So, if a human isn't on board, is it still considered transportation?

It would fall under "shipping", right?

What's up with the roof?

Roof, concave lip with flanking fences.

Boundary layer of roof is similar to a pickup truck bed, no cover and tailgate up.
