Video Description:
Rinspeed will present its new sQuba, the worlds first diving car, at the Geneva Motor Show (March 6-16). The car is not only able to drive on roads autonomously with a push of a button (thus without a driver, passenger or further assistance), but can also transform into an amphibious vehicle which can be submerged in water up to 10 meters (33 feet). An electric motor with powerful torque drives the rear wheels, while the propulsion on the water is ensured by two propellers in the stern and two powerful jet drives in the bow propelling the vehicle under water while diving. When underwater, the driver and passenger are enclosed in the vehicle thanks to light weight body components made of futuristic Carbon Nano Tubes and are supplied with fresh breathing air by the self-contained on-board system.

Lol at 0:42 you can see that there was a guy driving the car, you can see his arm on the stearing wheel.

This is seriously ... ( 3 days ago by LiquidZ2k)

This is seriously one of the most impractical things I have ever seen. Very few people are going to want to drive underwater, and you couldn't go far with it underwater anyway. Two, why the hell do you need your car to drive to you? The only use might be for handicap people, but if they are that bad off they shouldn't be driving. Think about how complex the AI would need to get to know to stop at the front of the mall to pick you up, then think of all the people it will piss off stuck behind it.

This would probably ... ( 20 hours ago by batlin)

This would probably require some big changes - not only the difficulty of making the cabin airtight and oxygen-fed, but dealing with the structural changes involved (since carrying a big air bubble changes the properties of the car significantly). Pretty cool though!
