Reading the entire article might clear up some of those issues, Sue.
1_ It’s in Dubai, where it’s very hot. Especially in a glass cube with a working horse.
"When the horse’s body temperature gets too hot for comfort, a sensor attached to its side transmits its temperature reading to a controller which automatically turns off the treadmill and switches the vehicle to run on battery power." "Two sets of sensors are attached to the horse to monitor its heart rate and body temperature." "A bower attached on top of the vehicle is designed to protect the horse from cold and heat and can be opened if the horse needs air."
2_ Yes, there seems to be no “exhaust” system.
"A waste bin is also provided to collect the horse’s discharges."
3_ Horses and other animals, including people, do not work without an incentive. Ya got to poke ‘em with a stick, or offer them a big Christmas bonus. If the driver is in front, how do you do that?
"Another bag is provided for food."
Obv this is more of a novelty/conceptual art piece than a practical invention, but the guy seems to have all of his bases covered, and it'll be interesting to see what kind of customers he pulls in. Dubai is more or less the world capital for frivolous displays of technological might, so this doesn't surprise me in the least.
