I want to see that thing in a head on collision.

After a collision the car will clean up after itself.

What's the difference between that and a stupid, err smart car?

I guess we know who only looks at the pictures in a story.

Anyways, their premise is right but the execution is of course fantasist like all other "visionary" bubble cars of the past.

So how big do things have to be for that car to automatically stop? Cause it will be pretty annoying if it does for every bypassing butterfly or a leaf. A squirrel okay? How about a dog? Or a child?

It will provide a great ride over potholes and such, but those will not exist in the future of course.


Some concept cars are at least somewhat practical.

Through a sophisticated array of sensors and car-to-car communication, the EN-V should essentially be uncrashable.

Challenge accepted!
