The streets would be so much more interesting if concept car designs overflowing with far-fetched id
The streets would be so much more interesting if concept car designs overflowing with far-fetched ideas, jutting angles, and disconcerting shapes made it into the everyday vehicles riding on our roads. Alas, back in reality all we get are endless Priuses crowding parking lots.
So, let's take a moment to savor the creativity and imagination of some of the wild cars major automakers have dreamt up this year. And remember, these are all conceptcars. You won't be seeing them anytime soon.
This is a four-legged walking electric vehicle. It's intended for rescue missions in hard-to-reach-and-traverse places (like snowy mountain peaks, post-natural disaster rubble, and more) and can transform into a driveable vehicle with wheels instead of legs. It's creepy, but functional.
Walk or drive. Your call.Credit: hyundaiThis rugged vehicle from Audi comes with five drone companions to provide extra lighting for the road ahead and camera vision. The (nearly) all-glass car can handle rough terrain and autonomously drive on city streets. How versatile!
In the backseat are two hanging chairs that are basically hammocks. The Trail is supposed to be an adventure vehicle made for the great outdoors.

For its LF-30 concept, Lexus envisions its Airporter drones autonomously carrying your luggage from the house to the trunk. The rest of the car is very digitally connected, too, with augmented reality-enabled windows, touchscreen surfaces everywhere, and gesture and voice control in an all-electric vehicle with a 300-mile range.

No more honking. Instead, just lots of flashing and blinking lights.

We're not entirely sure what that means. But the seating configuration is different from most cars with a corner-booth-at-a-diner vibe. Toyota calls it a diamond shape.
The Kia HabaNiro mostly makes the list for its name. So fiery! The red interior and "lava red" exterior panel matches its name. It's all a play on the very real Niro EV that Kia already sells. The HabaNiro expands on that electric option with butterfly-winged doors, wide-set tires, and a "shark's snout" grille.

With huge wheels and sleek side-opening doors, we could definitely envision this thing flying through space. The seats look like space pods, too. Get ready for lift-off.

Using AI, Toyota's LQ learns about you the more you drive and use it. So, over time, the driving experience becomes more personalized. Creepy or helpful? You decide.
The car that gets to know you.Credit: CHARLY TRIBALLEAU / AFP via Getty ImagesThis isn't your average van. Instead, Suzuki's autonomous vehicle can function as a relaxing oasis or a work station for a productive drive. Either way, you're not driving.

It's "ultra-compact" and ready to squeeze into tight spaces in the dense city. The Ami One is a tiny thing, weighing only 1,000 pounds — half the heft of a Mini Cooper. But also, it's meant for quick jaunts with only 60 miles of range on the battery. Big city, little car, can't lose.

Basically mocking other cars with lavish in-dash touchscreens (ahem, Byton and Tesla), Kia brought in 21 smartphones to build a dash screen. That's end-to-end coverage. Genius.
