They are now working on the sunswift 8 which is to be a combination of solar battery and hydrogen.
They are not calling it a solar car anymore apparently.

Pure solar is indeed to much of a constraint, it make it more challenging than propelling humans over roads in an enclosure needs to be.
A big problem is sharing the road with conventional vehicles. Many could probably drive straight though it, a Tesla could probably drive straight though it.
If the car must be a strong metal container the choices quickly reduce to the things on the market right now.
