solar paneled cars
While it would be nice if they were- they are not. First, you cannot change the laws of physics- there is simply not enough solar energy falling on a car to produce large amounts of power. Secondly, the sun does not shine on rainy days, or at night. There have been experimental solar powered cars that were scaled down lightweight slow moving cars, and traditional cars that had VERY large solar collectors (billboard sized) that charged batteries in the "solar" car. As far as pollution, remember that making solar cells and batteries can be a major source of pollution.

There are no practical solar powered cars being sold today and are only demonstration vehicles usually built with Government sponsorship. The effect of solar panels was actually discovered in 1839 and in the 1960's it became the power source for satellites.

Solar power can replace fossil fuels and power anything that they used EVEN cars
Power from a light or the sun strikes a solar panel. The panel converts the light into useable power to operate the cars motor.

Almost no one as there are no solar powered cars being produced and sold. There have been some prototypes, and some cars use solar cells to help charge the batteries but no solar powered cars are on sale as of yet.
