Despite to what you may think, this is not a cut scene from the "Back to the future" movie -although the De-Lorean and the green humanoid suggest it could be. It's a thought to how a car could be cleaned in the near future -2020. It is designed by Mira - the Motor Industry Research Association who was commissioned by E-Bay Motors to come up with a solution for helping drivers to keep their cars clean without using a pool of water. According to the designers, the inflatable car wash unit uses just four litres of water, compared to the 135 used in a hosepipe. Via Jalopnik
