 Belief about the Topic: The article that i chosen was about technology. I found it under technology. Its about trying to advance the technology for more fuel-efficient vehicles. There racing in a competition and each vehicle is require to get 100 miles per gallon. The top winner had won it with a internal combustion engine. I possibly think that its location is in United States and Other countries came from outside and enter to the competition. 
Brief Summary:This Article is about making cars to save energy for our world to be a greener place. The Vehicles achieve 100 miles per gallon or the energy equivalent.  It Reached that goal with electric power plants and the top winner was an internal combustion engine. And the main goal of Automotive X Prize is making an development of super-efficient cars that can be manufactured in large volume. That wasn't an easy competition because creating a car the is fuel efficient and super efficient to make the world greener is a pretty hard/tough job. There were about 136 vehicles that were after the competition and only 41 received approval last October.  The Competition was broken up to 2 Classes. One of the class was Mainstream that was for four-seat vehicles. And the Second one was Alternative that was two divisions: two-seats side-by-side and two seats in a tandem. The super-efficient car went into the Mainstream Class. When these cars get approve and made into real life cars it could save us money and energy. All that means sooner or later the world will be a more greener place.
 Chosen this Article than Another: I chosen this article because i really like things that involved good looking cars and also i like the technology that involves with cars or in the world. And other articles will just talk about random stuff like a topic i really think its worthless to write about in the newspaper or in  the website. I kind of like to know what happens in our country the United States and also the in the world. But i really deeply get into technology and whats new of technology in the world.  Thats why i have chosen this one than another article in the new york times website.
 Connection to Current Units: I positively think that this article is not or even near of what we are talking during class because we talk what happen in the past not the new things that came up to the world like technology.
