I have always loved the idea of a compressed air car.

Range: Awful

Efficiency: Terrible

Speed: 40ish mph max.

Size: Has to be tiny to make it really work.

Concept: Cool as hell.

Believe it or not, I'm driving on air. I never thought I could be so free-hee-hee!

You can't keep a pair of these AirPods in your pocket. Don't even try.

Looks like a trailer. Most of these concepts are obviously for urban commuting. Guess we'll see if they ever get rolling.

Stephen King had compressed air cars in The Running Man.
