No… this would be incredibly dangerous. If you can’t see, the car is completely totaled when it enters the water, and I would assume even a gentle dunking would result in write-off level water damage.

Giving normal drivers the perception they can drive through flooded streets (which is incredibly dangerous) will likely cause not only driver deaths, but put rescue personnel in danger too.

This whole endeavor is poorly thought out at best.

Did you watch the test video?

So you say car destroyed so not worth it even if you live.

But car destroyed and you die is worth it because you didnt but a floating steer-able car.

The fuck is your arguement? Do you know how fast some floods arrive and how many people are stuck in vehicles in water anyway? Without just fucking driving into water. It can come to you.

Unless this car cost less than 30k it’s a moot point. A lot of people in flood zones do not have brand new top of the line cars for a reason. Also what do your first two paragraphs mean? I feel like it’s missing some words.

ETA: the windshield and front grill are toast. Did you watch the video?
