Maybe they did it so no one else could? When patent trolls become the true heroes.
Yeah companies patent stuff they're not expecting to actually build all the time.
An old RR model included a manual toilet too. It didn't have a tank so it left waste on the road. It wasn't popular though.
Finally, a vehicle for people with IBS and incontinence
Uhm, excuse me, what is this Panzer?
Btw, i've once read a sci-fi dystopia story, where the few humans left all live naked in some vehicle filled with a hydro- and oilophobic smart, uh, slime? Gum? that can freely deform. You piss, the urine gets directed to a opening. You want to procreate, sperm from a matching partner gets exchanged via their vehicle. Stuff like that.
Guess they have this as their vision of the future?
So, Pixar’s Cars?
In "Mother of Storms" by Barn Jones, they had self-driving cars with a built-in toilet for long cross-country trips. I never thought it would actually be built.
Ohh... these pictures in my head!!
They've got concept art in the article.
Ahh yes, a vehicle design worthy of chinese new year exodus.
And people have been praising Chinese automakers?
