>> Get a load of that! The car--the Rinspeed sQuba. You've heard about it. You may have seen pictures. Here what actually it is--the underwater Lotus space roadster. I don't mean on the water, I mean underwater, down to 10 meters, in fact. The vehicle is completely submersible. It navigates like a little submarine of sorts when you're down there. Electropropulsion everywhere--electric drive for the wheels when you're on the road, electric drive for the propellers in the back, laser-guiding system that thing that pops us on the snoot that lets you avoid collisions underwater because remember you're driving in 3D and there are no lane markers down there. Now, once you get down to 7, 8, 9, 10 meters, how do you stay then? The built-in Scuba Tank System in the vehicle [chuckles] with the thought of everything, everything. Now, this is a concept and it'll probably stay a concept but it does really work. [Background music] This is what's so great about the big international auto shops. [ Music ]
