VIDEO from Medialink and General Motors: Designing the Car of the Future

Each team of interns had a designer, an engineer, a sculptor, and a trim and color artist. Together, they came up with six futuristic concept cars. In addition to being gas-free, the concept cars also had to meet the needs of international drivers in the emerging markets ofChina,India andRussia.

While these concept cars probably won't be available in showrooms anytime soon, the students have gained real world experience to help further their future careers, hopefully designing petroleum-free transportation for all of us.
