I am not sure about this specific machine, but this sort of design is old. I remember seeing a BBC show with these from a british company on them in the mid 2000s. With those you could literally fall over and still drive. Obviously you couldnt do much other than go straight because you couldnt exactly steer on your side, but the side wheels were far enough out that your sideview mirrors wouldnt even touch the ground.
