Honda - 124 - One to the Power of Four

The solar-hybrid powered Honda 14 is an energy efficient, fully robotic commuting solution. A suburban community re-population movement in the 2050’s has increased consumer demand for a truly flexible commuter vehicle.

http://4wheelsblog.com/prototypes/honda-124-one-to-the-power-of-four

The solar-hybrid Honda 14 solves the carpooling dilemma because it allows carpoolers to take advantage of HOV lanes, share commuting costs and once near the passengers’ final destinations, robotically transforms from one to four separate and unique modes of transportation.
Through a combination of gyros, artificial intelligence and molecular engineering, each individual vehicle instinctively reconfigures as a fully functional vehicle. When traveling as one, the division points are undetectable. The latest advancements in molecular engineering allow the body panels to divide and reshape to form each individual vehicle.

It's cool, but what are the chances of this thing ever going beyond just hype? I hate it when they say things like it will be the car of the future and then a couple years later... no one has heard of it.

It took a few year to build electric cars.
It took us a few years before we got to drive on H2.
It took a few years to create Space Collective.

Stop hating! Start dreaming and don't give up!

Just got a civic hybrid at home. Currently getting 44 mpg.
The idea that the exterior of a vehicle could/should be a solar energy collecting and storage device is a very viable one.

Maybe change the Civic exterior yourself? Could be a great laugh!
Good to hear you drive a Hybrid! You are one of the stars that really work on the environment!
Cool!
