This is an interview of the driver of University of Michigan's solar car Quantum, at the finish point of American Solar Challenge 2012, near the Capitol Building of St. Paul, MN, on July 21, 2012. This particular driver encountered a First Experience with Hydroplaning during this trip. I am glad to have caught him while he was still full of excited adrenaline, ready to recall/share his first experience of hydroplaning during American Solar Challenge 2012.  University of MI is the overall winner of American Solar Challenge 2012.  This interview was filmed by Michael Nunamaker and conducted, edited, and uploaded by sunisthefuture-Susan Sun Nunamaker at http://sunisthefuture.net . 

The Quantum has a long front deck with a small cockpit. It weighs only 320 pounds, and its driver must weigh less than 170 pounds. The cars can get 200-300 miles on a full charge, said University of Michigan project manager Eric Hausman, a junior from Beverly Hills who is studying industrial operations engineering. University of Michigan's Quantum had won multiple times for American Solar Challenge and came in third place during the World Solar Challenge at Australia in 2011.
