The Kestrel from Motive Industries is a history making automobile. How is it making history you ask? The Kestrel will be the world's first car made out of hemp.
All jokes aside, the Kestrel from Motive Industries could be a groundbreaking automobile. Hemp grows incredibly fast and is extremely durable and lightweight. Motive Industries will begin testing the Kestrel later this year. If all goes well, this cannabis car could be on the road someday soon. Just don't, under any circumstances, let it catch fire.
