Have u seen James Bond driving a stealth vehicle in his movies???
Well, u could own one soon... Read on.....
When Mercedes wanted to promote its new fuel cell vehicle, instead of placing it squarely in front of everyone in the world, the company decided to make the car invisible. Check the video.
In this clever publicity stunt, Mercedes wanted to emphasize that its F-Cell vehicle has no omissions, making it virtually invisible to the environment. Mercedes has placed a mat of LEDs across one side of the vehicle and mounting a video-shooting Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR camera on the other side. Even though people could still tell there was a car going by, its just a beginning of a new technology and have lot of scope to improve.
Mercedes says its hydrogen-powered drive system is “ready for series production,”. However, fuel-cell technology is still notoriously expensive, partly because hydrogen is a difficult fuel to store and transport. The materials needed to create a viable fuel-cell are still hovering in the pricey stratosphere.
HOW DID THEY MAKE IT
