Sono Motors plans a natural filtration system (named breSono) for the Sion, its upcoming production car – moss:

In the interior of the Sion, a unique moss is integrated into the dashboard and used as a natural air filter. A special lichen (moss) is used, which is known for its appealing look and excellent air filtration. In spite of the naturalness of the moss, it actually requires no care, since the plant draws its water from the air. So breSono regulates humidity in the interior of Sion all by itself. In short, it’s a natural air conditioner.

But it has other advantages: The microstructures of moss binds fine dust particles from the air, so even in a big city, you can breathe fresh air. The moss also has sound-absorbing properties, so you have a smooth ride. Moreover it also acts fire repellent and is thus assigned to the fire protection class B1.

Can’t wait to have the local auto shop work on a problem with that system.
