No kidding, the Inflatable Car!
Supposedly from the hype piece, this inflatable electric car could be delivered in two cartons by mail, be assembled in a couple hours, get 2500 miles on an electric charge. it would also, supposedly be much safer than a regular car, since it's essentially made out of airbags.
Looking at the actual company website, it appears that they have simply done designs, and no actual prototype has been produced. This automatically raises my skepticism meter, since we've seen similar displays of enthusiastic hype that never produced an actual product.
Still, if they're on the level (Unlikely) and actually manage to produce a product (doubtful), it would be neat. And their idea for the backpack emergency vehicle is just too cute.
