There are just a few drawbacks: you can't fit in it and it only moves six billionths of a metre with 10 electric bursts

Fascinating stuff, but I think calling it a car is a bit of a stretch: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15637867

Modern engineering is amazing but I'd agree, not much of a "car". Here's a wonderful link to the worlds smallest steam engine - 5 microns across and with 3 pistons.
