Most of us already know about the famous Ice Bucket Challenge and many have already took it but what most of us don't know about this is that now the cars are also giving ice bucket challenge to each other! Yes, surprisingly enough now cars are giving ice bucket challenge to each other to create awareness for ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

Recently, Fiat 500 took the ice bucket challenge and further nominated Volkswagen Up, Renault Twingo and Mini. Further, Renault Twingo too took the challenge in quite an animated way and nominated Citroen DS3, Peugeot 108 and Toyota IQ.  What started to be an awareness campaign, really took the stroke and has gone viral among celebrities. You name it, the list has it, be it Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg or world’s richest man Bill Gates or Tesla Motors Elon Musk along with Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, all of them took the ice bucket challenge and donated for the research to cure the ALS disease.

But what surprises us is the new and conceptual video of cars giving dare to each other in order to promote the humble cause. In the video given below, Fiat 500 said, “I've been seeing quite a few ice buckets flying around and that worries me a little... but it’s necessary for one reason: Rise awareness about ALS and support the research against it. I also want to give my support,” and then the Fiat 500 received a splash of ice cold water. Fiat 500 further added, “Remember: It’s never too late to support research. I did it. Now I’m passing the bucket to Volkswagen Up, Renault Twingo and Mini. I’m sure they’ll do their best in the next 24 hours. And I’m sure you'll do too.”

With Renault Twingo accepting and further nominating other three cars, it seems like many cars will soon join the cause.
