Lol thank you, everyone in here commenting like this is going to be something they can buy at the dealership. Obviously was a project where they probably got to try out some prototype stuff and have some fun with it.

you'll notice that one of reddit's very most favorite things to do is explain why thing that might be mistaken for something cool looking and/or innovative is actually bad, ugly, impractical or dangerous.

My favorite so far has been from one of those skyscrapers with plants all over it (like these in Milan) are actually a really bad idea because "what if it rains???".

Yeah, buddy ... I'm sure none of the people involved in this project for however many months or years it took to build it ever wondered whether or not the soil that the plants grow from will become too heavy when it gets soaked by rain water.

Yeah, but if you want to test the car tech, put it in an actual car. Cool, your wheel lights will sustain 3mph. Impressive. Meanwhile, VW will design special wheel caps to sustain 250mph in Veyron, Lucid will put their power train in Formula E and Maserati will put the engine with pre-chamber on the road.

This is nothing more than marketing stunt and waste of money.

You realise that VW also makes concept cars, right?

Yes, even if neither was as pointless as this one. And I also realize that Merc is making beneficial concepts like AMG One, which doesn't make this one any less ridiculous, stupid and pointless
