A car developed by high-school students in Indonesia is being promoted as a way of kickstarting the country's own automobile industry.
Virtually all of the country's 24 million cars are made by foreign companies and with it a handsome profit.
But now local officials are restarting the initiative to get a locally produced version on the road.
Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Solo, central Java.
I hope major brands won't blackmail those students.

It's better than any other car.
It's got a button to detonate 200 lbs of C-4, next time you drive by your favorite foreign Embassy.
