Ideologically driven
I am not normally one for ideologically driven design but I am making an exception for the Mercedes Biome concept. It reminds me of what the future used to look like.
Taking their inspiration from nature, [the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios in Carlsbad, California] 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.
