This (in my opinion) needs to be rewritten as an article on the various smart highway proposals - such as:
 * Platoon (automobile)
 * Virginia Smart Road
 * Vehicle infrastructure integration
 * [Netherlands highway that glows in the dark]
 * and Solar Roadways Inc
 * http://www.sbir.gov/sbirsearch/detail/355952) lists them as "Solar Roadways Incorporated"


 * technology is called SolaRoad and was developed by the Dutch firm TNO. (http://inhabitat.com/the-netherlands-to-pave-roads-with-solaroad-solar-panels/)
 * students at the Solar Institute at George Washington University installed a solar panel walking path desinged by Onyx Solar, something they call solar pavement. (http://inhabitat.com/students-install-the-worlds-first-solar-pavement-panels-in-virginia/).
 * Dutch company called Ooms Avenhorn Holding AV installed a variant of a "solar road" that doesn't use photovoltaic cells. Ooms installed the system in Avenhorn, a village in northern Holland. http://www.ecmag.com/section/miscellaneous/dutch-company-drives-new-solar-power
