But unlike many capitals, Paris has a river that runs through it, and one cos solution to the problems utilizes Paris is waterways.

The sea bubble, which you're about to see, is a lightweight vehicle whose to electric engines are solar powered.

Each vehicle is estimated to cost around $33 and if they get off the ground or water, they could change how Parisians and tourists get around.

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No, it's a sea bubble on.

It's just landed in Paris.

It's designers hope it will be the taxi of the future not only in its French homeland but in many as 250 cities worldwide that might choose to use their waterways as a new, eco friendly urban pathway.

Well, it's a boat, but it's an eco friendly transport system that we have designed.

It's Thio.

Try to help a little bit the situation that everybody's in traffic jam in the cities and the polluted city and try to get rid of Libya that you leave no waves.

There's no sound and there's no pollution.

They call it a flying water car and the idea is only 2.5 years old.

It was dreamt up by the team behind a catamaran that has been breaking sailing records thanks to its elevation out of the water, we're coming from dream into reality.

Where?

Start up company.

So when you start a startup company, then a.

I had a great idea like, this is how it's gonna work and never goes cool.

How on then, once you actually show them, show it to them, then this is the next step right now where we have to take this into How can we now deliver thousands of these books around the world?

As you could see, the sea bubble gives a fairly smooth ride.

Now there's still so many obstacles for the people trying to get these out onto the rivers off the world.

Things like the regulations that exists on the main waterways inside big cities, things like fighting operators to make them available commercially to evolve number of people.

But the team believe that it can be done and that this will soon provide you with a smooth ride from the Eiffel Tower that we've just left taking you east down the Seine in a matter of minutes, thus avoiding the dreadlocks off Paris's streets in favor of the fluid ity off its river.
