This is Mercedes-Benz's perfect vehicle of the future, showcased at this year's Los Angeles Design Challenge.
Taking their inspiration from nature, they designed a vehicle which is fully integrated into the ecosystem, from the moment of its creation right through to the end of its service life.
The Mercedes-Benz BIOME grows in a completely organic environment, from seeds sown in a nursery. Out on the road the car emits pure oxygen, and at the end of its lifespan it can be simply composted or used as building material.
"As the inventor of the motor car, we wanted to illustrate the vision of the perfect vehicle of the future, which is created and functions in complete symbiosis with nature," said Hubert Lee, Head of the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios.
