I think it may look like no regard for the environment because of some bad cases. But remember, China has a much larger population than the United States, if that is your benchmark.

China has also started building cities like Dongtan.

I think it's only a matter of time before places like China begin to develop these technologies and export them to the rest of the world. Look forward to driving Chinese low- to zero-emission automobiles. China will do this out of necessity, especially if their population has an increased demand for automobiles and other transit.

Oh, and in regards to the OP... this car does look exciting. I always enjoy hearing about new designs like these.
