Sounds a bit overly optimistic to me, especially since the "all vehicles" bit implies that self-driving and solar powered cars will become the norm in.... about 10 years at the latest? If I have to put money on it, I'd have to say not gonna happen that quickly

I do have high hope for solar power though, I'd love it if they can make space-based solar power feasible, that would be just as awesome as practical fusion reactor
