Mercedes Benz BIOME - the concept of autobio production based on genetically modified technologies

When any current driver of a conventional car walks into a gas station and pays between a third and a half of the living wage for a full tank, he involuntarily sighs and thinks: “When will these engineers come up with something new?”. Hopes that oil will someday become significantly cheaper are shared by a few of the current car owners. But the most depressing thing is not even this, but the fact that we burn the concentrated organic matter, which nature has been preparing in the bowels of the earth for millennia, and from which priceless materials can be obtained, over decades, “heating” the atmosphere and “fertilizing” it with harmful gases. Where is the way out and how do automakers see it?

Most of today's auto designers have become like fashion designers of women's handbags: they endlessly change "predatory" lines to "aggressive", building them on top of the motor-body solutions of the late 19th - early 20th century. All this is richly flavored with smart computer systems that lose reliability in proportion to their "smartness". Recently, hybrid electric diesel engines have been great. The idea that a car batterymost of the time it fumbles and charges in vain, just as a generator works in vain, “pushes” structures that work on the principle of reasonable “push-pull” between the internal combustion engine and the electrical system of a car loaded with high-torque electric motors. Electric vehicles are also developing actively, but either scare away consumers at a price, or the inability to travel far without recharging.

With an interesting implementation of the idea of a he althy combination of hybrid travel technology and advanced body technology, BMW has recently made a mark with the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics car, which is not only shown to the public, but is promised for release in the fall of 2013. The five Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design studios seem to have been scolded and responded quickly with the futuristic-fantasy Mercedes Benz BIOME revealed just three months after the Mercedes Benz BIOME Concept was unveiled to the public at the annual Design Challenge. With this concept, Mercedes looked into the "reasonable distance", which "will not be cruel to them" because of bio-technology. True, these bio-technologies concern the DNA of plants. Current genetic engineering looks as effective in relation to heredity as an elephant in a china shop. This is not noticed only by those who, at the word "profit", have a complete defocusing of vision. What did the Californian Skolkovo come up with in preparation for the next financial report?

Mercedes Benz BIOME,presented to the public and photographers at an automotive design competition in Los Angeles, weighs only 394 kg and is made from a very light material called BioFibre (“biofiber”). BioFibre is a plant-derived material with patented DNA that is lighter than plastic but stronger than steel. The same plant accumulates BioNectar 4534 liquid substrate, which will provide energy to the Mercedes Benz BIOME car, while also releasing oxygen. The production of BioNectar 4534 with the help of certain receptors will also be imposed on all plants available to the owner of this car. To make a Mercedes Benz BIOME, you will need six seeds. Wheels grow from four seeds, and the other two sprout in the form of Mercedes three-beam stars, which, growing, form the inner part of the body from the front seed-star and the outer part of the body from the rear seed-star. A boring car can be dissolved along with bird droppings in a compost pit.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the Mercedes BIOME looks very nice on the outside and inside, but the commercial about its manufacturing technology looks as believable as cartoons about the communist future released in the Brezhnev-era Soviet Union. The concept of growing and powering the Mercedes BIOME car is a vivid illustration of what rational German design thought can turn into when it gets to the homeland of Hollywood.
