...Well, maybe not literally. But Chevy's highly-anticipated Volt has gone through numerous tests to answer the question, "What happens when an electric car drives through water?"
Actually, the Volt has gone through all kinds of crazy tests that come with introducing a relatively new type of vehicle to the mass-production market. Early reports suggest that even filling up the reserve gas tank takes all kinds of complex calculations by the Volt's onboard computer system.
Make no mistake, this is a VERY smart car. But then again, any battery-powered car that can drive through knee-deep water without losing a spark has to be pretty brilliant.
The Chevrolet Volt is scheduled for a late-2010 release.
