The Photosynthesis Car by Michal Vlcek and Klavir is a futuristic vehicle that's capable of generating energy from the natural photosynthetic process. The Photosynthesis Car is embedded with solar panels and a mini-garden of turf and plants; the energy derived from these sources is used to power the vehicle, and the driver gets the added benefit of oxygen.
The Photosynthesis Car is covered in a nanoplastic body and is driven with joystick controls. Unfortunately, the designers haven't provided more technical information about the car's ability to exploit the photosynthetic process.
