Since the human body is in actuality an engine, converting 
incoming nutrients and gases into kinetic energy, growth, and 
waste products, could similar ideas be applied to locomotion for 
vehicles (ie - cars) to radically alter cars to be biologically 
based entities, which would be environmentally friendly and run 
off of nutrient gels, etc.?
