It's a rocket-powered car. What's not interesting about that?
Nothing about it is interesting. Its stupid and pointless. A gimmick, PR trick.
Even that isn't exactly novel but I'd be interested to see it operated outside of the closed, pre-designed environment they showed it off in. I would be willing to bet good money that it operates in this exact environment but couldn't replicate this stunt - or really do anything of note - in a "live" environment. We've seen this from masturbatory rich person marketing stunts before many times.
