That’s No Shrub, That’s a Car (Electric Vehicle)

shrub roverNow I’ve seen everything. Or at least something I never would have even thought of, let alone imagined would actually exist. A solar-powered EV (electric vehicle) that looks like a bush, an ordinary manicured shrub. The Terrestrial Shrub Rover was designed and built by New York-based artist Justin Shull, “whose work is usually focused on environmental themes.”

Shull says of his latest creation, “In the spirit of NASA and its forthcoming 2020 lunar expeditions in preparation for colonizing the moon, the Terrestrial Shrub Rover presents the opportunity to explore terrestrial and social environments back on Earth from within a manned, foliage bedecked, solar electric powered rover.”

Now what if they covered this shrub vehicle with potato plants? These little cars could grow their own fuel. The possibilities, and crazy ideas, are endless.

And for that lunar outpost NASA is planning? Maybe Shull could disguise one of his rovers as a moon rock.
