Consumer Reports teams with Automotive X Prize for Safety Testing

Consumer Reports Blog, Automotive X Prize Press Release. Consumer Reports will be the "Official Active Safety Testing Partner" for the competition. They will not be conducting the testing themselves, but will be on hand to advise, and some of the procedures to be followed have been developed by Consumer Reports. It's great to have such a trusted brand helping with such an important aspect of the race!

In addition, "Consumer Reports is planning to report MPGe (miles per gallon energy equivalent) as one of several measures that will help consumers understand and compare vehicle efficiency", which means that MPGe might have a useful life beyond the Automotive X Prize!
