DeviceGuru says:
The AirPod is 6.7 feet long and weighs 485 pounds. The driver controls the motion of the vehicle with a joystick.
The vehicle has four wheels, and uses rear-wheel drive. Refueling the vehicle’s 46 gallon (175 liter) compressed air tank tank only takes a couple of minutes, according to the company. ... Air France Industries and KLM Engineering and Maintenance will be evaluating the AirPod from the perspective of safety, ergonomics, deployment, reliability, and maintenance costs, among other factors.
Here is a video. Well, it's a good start. Electric cars are a lot quieter and faster at this point. Will Desulfitobacterium bacteria produce electricity in cars of the future?
