Ames the Solar Acres 2.0, the team comprised 23 students. Around 84 colleges participated from across the country. “Our car is a single-seater car that looks like a racing car. We have made the exteriors stylish. We made sure that the vehicle is safe. We included the impact bumper that makes sure that the driver is safe when something hits the car. We also included GPS enabled LED that changes to high or low beam depending on the kind of road the vehicle is on. 

For instance, if it is on the National Highway, the high beam will be automatically turned on and on other roads, it would shift to low beam,” says B Sushil Kumar, the captain of the team. The team took around three months to finish the model. The event was conducted by Imperial Society of Innovative Engineers (ISIE).
