Probably I am the first to float this idea EVER..but that would be very interesting to see the human voices running the automobiles and other machines.
Again just a thought ...

Maybe not a car, but the Navy uses sound powered phones...and has for decades.
They require no other power source, the human voice works on a microphone and the energy is transmited through wires to a speaker in some other location, no batteries, or power source needed.
So it's not that far fetched that it could be used for other applications, just understand the limitations on the power.

The human voice can supply enough energy to operate a microphone, but not much else. The number of people whose voices it would take to power even a bicycle would far outnumber the carrying capacity of the bicycle.

No .. not enough energy. In fact since the voice is run by the breath, you could do no better than blowing up a balloon.

I once spent a long time talking to my car. Vigorously and loudly. Nothing happened, but I did feel better for it.
