Eco & Ego Car Comes With A Free Plant

This peculiar looking single occupancy vehicle is called the Eco & Ego. With a quirky name like that, you can expect a lot more wackiness inside.

The idea behind this “EE” car is pets, yes pets. Not a dog or cat, but a plant. The plant sits above the engine bay in clear sight of the driver. It’s hooked up to some futuristic electronics and can tell you how “polluted” you were that day. There’s also an extension to the idea in that you take your plant out every time you drive, sorta like walking your dog.

I wonder how many special candies had to be eaten for the designer to come up with this one.

Impractical in every way. Looks more like someone learning a 3D program than an actual product idea.

I think Its an interesting basic concept. It would be good for motorists to have a visual indicator of pollution. Of course it would be better still if the car didn’t make any emissions which makes me wonder why a vehicle thats been designed for the distant future would need such a system.

I think is good as design. It seems in the beginning phase so it shouldnt be practic.

I quite like the idea in current design that having a windscreen somewhat reduces the amout of exhaust inhaled.
