I like sitting under trees. I also like driving.

It occurs to me that no-one has ever designed a car with a tree growing in the middle of it so you can drive to work while sitting under a tree.

Shady, relaxing, comfortable, sunny in winter if you opt for the deciduous species option.

Best of all, birds may nest in your car; squirrels or possums get to share your commute; monkeys can leap from car to car, to cross busy streets if there are monkeys where you live.

It even metabolises some of the nasty gases your car emits.

Available in elm, oak, chestnut, pecan, eucalypt and maple. Coming this summer... coconut palm.

       With fast-growing bamboo you could also neutralize your CO2 bill, plus it might be flexible enough to go under bridges.
