Okay, so there's no actual way to phone up Sad Keanu Reeves and
confirm that the Mercedes-Benz BIOME is indeed on sale in the "real
world," but it should be. Revealed in The Matrix's own LA Auto Show,
this here vehicle has a theoretical weight of just 875.5 pounds, but
it's likely far too wide to cruise on this planet's existing roadway
system. The vehicle was imagined by designers from the Mercedes-Benz
Advanced Design Studios in Carlsbad, California, and it's said to be
"fully integrated into the ecosystem, from the moment of its creation
right through to the end of its service life." How so? It's grown "in
a completely organic environment from seeds sown in a nursery," and
just being totally frank here, we've no idea what that means. But hey,
if M-B can figure out how to grow cars in Morpheus' backyard, who are
we to question the reality of it?
