What do you get when the bad guys get you down? You get the Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (A-TAC). Metaltech Motor Bodies Pvt Ltd. made this [battery-powered bad boy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outisan-ewagon-air) to aid Indian military efforts to fend off terrorist attacks.

Inspired by the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, the [heavily armored 2-seater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-daryl-war-truck) Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart is designed to operate indoors engaging unfriendlies before they can harm people in popular civilian areas.

**Implications** - The [indoor armored car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-electric-microcar) was specifically designed for the hallways of hotels, along with stadiums and other areas with tight spaces where traditional security vehicles would not be able to fit. The tiny Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart looks quite badass and is painted in all black.
