Describe the critical need your solution addresses.

The quality of life in cities is being eroded by atmospheric pollution .One of the main contributors is the car, its emissions, its acoustics, its scale, its proliferation and overall domination of our collective environment; a condition beginning to impact with the same affects in cities the World over.

Explain your initiative in more depth and its stage of development.

My initiative is at the concept stage but is totally feasible in terms the materials, technologies and systems engineering.
The ‘Bubble’ has been designed using the least number of components with the lightest materials technologies, benefiting at each stage of the way, as composites and power train innovations have become more advanced in order to support concepts of lightness, energy efficiency and new intelligent principles in manufacture for a sustainable future.

How does your strategy and approach respond creatively and comprehensively to key issues?

Creatively my approach seeks to liberate the terrestrial plane in cities and to make the car an integrated organism that human beings feel spiritually and emotionally in harmony with in their daily lives.
I have sought out what I term “A language of Survival” so that the car expresses clean air, lightness, approachability, non aggression, something created by man technologically but with transparency and openness to eliminate the arrogance of unlimited resource expression and status in society.
A water droplet, a bubble of air, an icon of fitness and purity.
The car is run on compressed air so it is totally quiet and non polluting and it has a solar canopy that charges during the day so that when the car is parked it becomes a street lamp, elevated so as to free the city for walking families, creating space and a secure well lit environment.
Any surplus unused energy would be fed back into the grid or for immediate gain or in the car for recharging cell phones or laptops.
