China's new bus 'straddles' cars!video


By Gabriela Didcov
Officially called the 3D fast bus, the bus will literally straddle the road and carry passengers over cars and under overpasses.
I was very impressed about exciting aspect of the"straddling bus",being developed in China.Isn't the multi-leveled cinematic chase scenes it could be featured in. Now is it the relative-motion physics problem it could potentially lead to. (If James Bond jumps off the front of a straddling bus at 30 mph, will he manage to land on a car at 60 mph, that is 10 meters behind and four meters below him?) It isn't even the inflatable plastic slide that each of the buses will be equipped with — for those of us who don't feel comfortable leaping off large vehicles in the case of an emergency — that has me most excited.
