China’s New Car Can Literally Jump Over Potholes

They’re taking cues from Mario Kart, it seems.

Modern cars have a lot of technology in them. Some could argue that this technology is a bit too much — so you’re telling me that you can’t open the car with a dead battery, but there’s a giant iPad on the dashboard? Get your priorities straight, people!

Over in China, however, they’re trying to not only tackle the cooler, flashier bits of tech that get people interested in cars, but the more practical concerns as well. For example, see a pothole? Don’t even think about swerving. Instead, in this Chinese car, you can simply hit the “jump” button.
