Airo Car by Heatherwick Studio
London-based Heatherwick Studio has unveiled its concept for the Airo electric car for IM Motors that will "vacuum up pollutants from other cars".
Named Airo, the electric car will be fitted with a HEPA – high-efficiency particulate air – filtering system that will actively clean pollution. It will have both autonomous and driver-controlled modes.
The car has been designed with a flexible interior with rotating seats so that it can be reconfigured into a "multi-functional room".
With the seats facing each other a four-leaf table can be unfolded to create a dining space or a screen extended to watch films or play games.
The car's interior can also be turned into a bedroom as the contoured seats fully recline to create a double bed
The car, which is set to go into production in 2023, was designed for IM Motors – a car brand created by Chinese car company SAIC Motor, online retailer Alibaba Group and the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Group.
