The car's special engine is driven by the pressure of air stored in a tank on board. The tank is filled either through an external pump -- think of it like a gas pump, only for air -- or by drawing in air while it's driving with the help of a secondary electric motor.
AirPod's creators say the vehicle is able to reach a top speed of 43 miles per hour and that its electric motor is recharged in part when you apply the brakes.
The AirPod may look a little silly, but its small size could actually be a big selling point in India, which suffers from extreme road congestion. The country has been investigating alternative forms of transportation for years, most recently making news with a decision to install self-driving cars to shuttle visitors to and from one of its most popular religious sites.
