This, apparently, is NOT CGI, but an actual working prototype of a concept vehicle:

I saw it at CES.
Most memorable thing about it is how stupid those 'flaps' at the back are.
That's a LOT of seemingly expensive, easily breakable moving parts for bullshit 'features'.
The neon lights on the wheels are unnecessarily distracting.
The side-impact protection is most likely nonexistent.
And 'Avatar' is so last, last decade. -

But, as a concept for a transformative way of driving, I think it succeeds. It'll never see the light of day (What? No steering wheel? Getouddahere!), but it's interesting to see people at Daimler-Benz pushing the envelope.

Agree as well, especially the flaps. But it's cool looking all the same.

I think it would be fun to work in an area like that. Do whatever you want - dont worry about past designs, customer wants, etc.
