Rinspeed will present its new sQuba, the worlds first diving car, at the Geneva Motor Show (March 6-16). The car is not only able to drive on roads autonomously with a push of a button (thus without a driver, passenger or further assistance), but can also transform into an amphibious vehicle which can be submerged in water up to 10 meters (33 feet). An electric motor with powerful torque drives the rear wheels, while the propulsion on the water is ensured by two propellers in the stern and two powerful jet drives in the bow propelling the vehicle under water while diving. When underwater, the driver and passenger are enclosed in the vehicle thanks to light weight body components made of futuristic Carbon Nano Tubes and are supplied with fresh breathing air by the self-contained on-board system.

| i didn't say it wasn't a neat idea.. no need to go spazzing all over everybody here that isn't like "OH MY GOD HOW INNOVATIVE AND AMAZING! NO FLAWS!!!" i just think that the way they showed it was a bit cheesy. and besides, people that come up with great ideas need criticism. without it there's no way to tell what the public wants. |

Is it just me or is this thing defineately not enclosing anybody? Looks like they got a lil wet. |

| Why do you say it is enclosed when it clearly isn't? I think that the open design isn't too practical; what do you do if you're carrying your phone or iPod? |

| unfortunately a closed car FLOATS (if entirely water proof)
the only way to counter this is with huge trim tanks like on submarines |

| Did somebody ever told you you need to start somewhere first??
How fast were the first cars? They were slower than horses and very unpractical. The first computers took up entire rooms. The first mobile phones were brick sized.
This is an accomplishment in itself. |

| how fast did you expect it to go? like a nuclear submarine or a torpedo??
a car is not designed to go underwater at all in the first place |

| "drives on roads autonomously..." fine! the solution to the "blowjob" factor in car crashes... |
