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.

Hyundai Elevate

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.

Audi AI:Trail

This 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.

Lexus LF-30

When car companies start imagining the future, things can get weird ... and drone-filled. 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.

Hyundai Mobis

Autonomous driving means reimagined vehicles, like Hyundai's Mobis concept that includes lighting to communicate with pedestrians and other cars on the road. No more honking. Instead, just lots of flashing and blinking lights.

Toyota Rhombus

The best part of Toyota's electric car idea is the quote from its press release saying that it "aims to suit the values and lifestyles of drivers born after 1990." 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.

Kia HabaNiro

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.

Kia Futuron

If this electric car reminds you of a UFO, you're not alone. 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.

Toyota LQ

Move over IQ and EQ, we've now got LQ — a new type of intelligence designed to build a bond between car and driver. 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.

Suzuki Hanare

This 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.

Nissan Juke Personalization Adventure

The best concept cars are those that take a recognizable and real vehicle (in this case, the Nissan Juke) and push it to its weirdest bounds. Triangle wheels, anyone?

Volkswagen ID Buggy

This electric dune buggy makes the list because of that bright green and beach-ready look. No roof, no doors, no problem!

Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion

VW's latest concept EV is notable mostly because it doesn't have door handles. Otherwise, the car seems like a snazzy electric version of a station wagon.

Citroen Ami One

More cute than bizarre, this two-seater is all electric and meant for commuting. 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.

Kia Imagine

Kia crushed it with the dashboard design inside its Imagine concept EV. 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.

BONUS: Tesla Cybertruck

We know the Cybertruck is not technicallya concept car, but it looks like something not fully formed. So even if Tesla balks at the conceptual label, it makes the list. Especially since production isn't set to begin for another two years.
