Watercar

The world of is a water world, with no dry land anywhere, so vehicular transportation of all types comes in the form of submersible watercraft which generally resemble a fish. For purposes that would have been fulfilled by automobiles when there was dry land, there are now watercars.
For greater transportation needs, submarines have taken the place of RVs, trucks and buses.

== Description ==
=== Standard watercar ===
The standard watercar comes in many varieties. Some mostly resemble a shark, with a gray body, vertical split tail, a tall dorsal fin, and ventral fins extending like wings out to the sides. Other look more like tuna or groupers with a rounder body and smaller fins set further back on the body. The front of the watercar is taken up mostly by the windscreen, which also gives access to the interior.
=== Luxury watercar ===
As with cars before humanity died off, watercars come in luxury editions, with sleeker lines, better paint jobs, and perhaps better propulsion systems. An example of this is the watercar Madam Louv drives around in. Her vehicle bears a resemblance to an orca — a killer whale — with its sleek two-tone coloring and its split-tail rear. Its passenger compartment is wider, having room for three across the front behind the windscreen, instead of just two, with the pilot seated in the middle.
=== Police watercar ===
The police watercar is a sleeker, smaller design, likely to allow greater speed and better agility in the event of a pursuit or the need to get to the scene of an emergency or crime. They are built along the lines of a manta ray, including "horns" at the front of the vehicle, and a thin, whip-like tail streaming out behind of the black body of the craft. The windscreen is a dome that covers a circular passenger compartment, allowing officers a 360° view of the action, and it turns red and pulses in lieu of strobing police lights.
== Technical details ==
* The "windscreen" that watercars are equipped with appears to be a type of forcefield that simple appears or disappears as needed. It can also apparently be shaded to suit the pilot's needs.
* The motive force for watercars isn't readily apparent, but it would appear to be some form of waterjet system that moves water through a chamber in the belly of the craft.
