Makes me wonder how an aviation-inspired air-cycling setup, instead of the more usual vapor-cycling air conditioner, could lead to further improvements to the aerodynamics. Or if that wouldn't be doable at all... AFAIK the only road-going vehicles featuring some sort of air-cycling conditioner are some coaches, due to Covid-related regulations which prompted coachbuilders to resort to this in order to decrease the risk of contamination, yet I'm not sure how effective it is.
