What's next in auto advertising

Anyone find it appalling that car companies are advertising pollutionless cars when they haven't even been invented yet?

WTF?

How is that an acceptable marketing campaign?

It is misleading, but here is how they get away with it.

Sort of like the food industry, when a product only had to meet a certain percentage to be able to call itself fat free even though it isn't completely fat free. Just one example.
