There is zero chance that “feature” will ever see public roads. The amount of compressed are needed for that would probably vaporize everyone within 50 feet in a minor accident.
I would actually be more comfortable if it did use propellant.
This was a publicity stunt and the only to only noteworthy thing is the vacuum downforce which also seems dumb when you consider it’ll be sucking up squirrels and random shit on public roads.
It’ll be a regular car with regular features. This stuff will be “2 years out” for the next 20z
"You know how our electric cars have giant batteries that sometimes burst into an unquenchable fireball that burns hot enough to melt metal? What if we add a bunch of highly compressed gas in cannisters around the frame!"
Carbon fiber canisters. Like the submarine that imploded on itself. We car guys figured that out way back in the early 2000's. Carbon fiber intercooler pipes look cool until you hit boost.

I'm gonna be real I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a car that can jump in the current American driving climate anyways.
