You start the vehicle, it begins to inflate into shape and stays up while the engine is running. Now, when you switch off the engine, it deflates and by some clever elastic cord arrangement, more or less folds or rolls itself back up.
It must have valves to relieve excess internal pressure, it must drain any condensation, and must be proof against corrosion.
