XP Vehicles has the bright notion of selling inflatable cars to the masses, and these vehicles will be powered by batteries or fuel cells. It might sound as though it will be extremely subsceptible to punctures, but apparently XP Vehicles will be using the same material that NASA uses in its airbags for Mars Rovers’ landings, which means you will be able to shrug off pins and sharp objects on the road without much distress. Since it is

so light, it apparently can travel for up to 2,500 miles on a individual charge. Assembly of that £2,500 package will take around two hours on average, which ain’t too shabby. I wonder whether that will be able to survive in an accident with another vehicle made out of, you know, actual steel.
