1 of 11 Road runner Steve Fambro was sick of people whizzing past him in the carpool lane, so he decided to do something about it.

With an infusion of $20 million from Idealab, Bill Gross's business incubator, Fambro's company, Aptera, is scheduled to begin production of the $30,000 electric hybrid later this year. -- Telis Demos
