Indian car manufacturer Tata Motors is ready to start mass production of its AirPod vehicles. AirPod was developed several years ago by a French auto engineer Guy Negre. The car is powered by compressed air, it reaches speeds of 30mph-plus (50 km/h) and can travel 65 miles on a one-minute recharge. And the best part is its price. It will be selling for about $5,000.

Brilliant. Should be made available everywhere, after they are made a little more presentable first. 10/10 for idea and usefulness, 0/10 for exterior looks

nice idea , but U still need to compress the air first .... I'm guessing electricity will be the energy source for that and most electricity still comes from fossil fules

Yeah, just make sure you build them as ugly as possible.

where i come from potholes have baby potholes which feed on cars with front wheels like this. at this stage it would be great for automatic shopping trolley or in a skatepark maybe.

once it has prpoer wheels it is great idea for the city where u cannot exceed 30mph due to traffic rush anyway

Be cool if it could somehow get the compressed air itself rather then have a station you got to use. Plus 30mph is pretty damn slow take you an hour to go 30 miles!?! c'mon.

Still great idea though.
