The Audi RSQ in I, Robot.

first thing i thought of when I saw that was "Ooooo pot holes..."
Anyway, I think its an interesting concept. They say in the article that it will use spheres instead of tires
My only complaint is that its fairly impractical for everyday use, but most concept cars are impractical.

Wow, spheres. That opens up a WHOLE LOT of possibilities. Driving sideways, easy parallel parking, perhaps inflatable ones so we can tranfer to water easily Sounds fun. Yeah they should give it some ground clearance.

Sounds like it's asking for a traction problem, though.

Do you have stairs in your house?

It would look better with normal open wheels. Some parts of it I dont mind at all.



Many luxury cars these days have dash-mounted LCD screens and a camera or two pointing backwards.

Screw backing up, I'm still trying to figure out how the hell you get in the car.

So is virtually every other car on the road today. What's your point? You expected future cars to get better looking? They'll probably stay just as ugly as they are now.

I find this one interesting at most. The Lexus from Minority Report was awesome, but it always looked like if it hit anything, even at 5 miles an hour, it'd total the car. Least to me it did...

Sexy, but as it has been said before, highly impractical. Save for the wheels
