    Many concept cars don't make it to production and if they do they end up quite different from the original.

    I think it is a leap beyond most concept cars, especially how to operate it. But I get it; it is not for everyone.

    I like the statement that the future is now. It always, was and is, In certain concepts, or view points. Yet I wonder how advanced this vehicle really is, in the back of my mind. Guess I feel the concept of it is ancient compared to the tech that they have now.

    This new auto is nothing more than a moment of wow. Compared to the real tech The so called powers that be have at their finger tips, this auto you speak of here, is merely a horse and buggy.

    No offense intended.

    Thank you, and wish you the best.

    very flashy,if it´s powered by electricity , have a look too were the batteries for all electric cars come from.

    The main ingredient for baterys is Kobolt and it come from Africa,
    Democratic Republic of the Congo

    Yesterday My friend told Mr that "Democratic Republic of the Congo" was for sale, he didn't know why, but I knew why

    please read it



    exemption here:

    By the nineties, the Chinese were becoming the bosses: the Beijing government and myriad Chinese businesses began making heavy investments in Africa, particularly in resource-rich and regulation-poor countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
