Blow-up man woman's best friend

He fits in a car's glove box, appears at a flick of a switch and when a woman has finished using him, she can just pull the plug and he deflates.

He is the Buddy on Demand, a blow-up man with the aim of making solo female motorists feel less nervous about driving at night.

Research by the inflatable friend's creator, insurer Sheilas' Wheels, shows 82 per cent of women feel safer with someone sitting in the car beside them and nearly a half do not like driving alone in the dark.

"We're not saying that an inflatable man is the only answer but we do hope it will give women extra confidence and make journeys in the dark less fearful," said Jacky Brown, spokeswoman for Sheilas' Wheels. Reuters

Actually, I hope not... I feel redundant enough as it is...
