    Interesting...we only yet have a partial picture of bat life...we know some fail say 10% after 10 years we don't really know how long the lucky ones may go. Keeping my fingers crossed however.

    Well one common denominator I've found is that nearly all of these reports come from a cool to temperate climate.

    Aye! Judging from the dashboard visible from the cockpit he was filmed in, it's clearly a Prius II. Another side shot with him in it clearly shows the front side windows, the bonnet and the top of the headlights - definitely a Prius II. I guess the confusion comes from whoever created the video, mixing in the dashboard shot of a Prius III and another Prius III gliding down a street as filmed from above. He wasn't filmed in a Prius III, despite the voiceovers in those errant clips.
