SMART CARS 2 TRANSFORM ITSELF TO TUCK INTO TINY SPOTS.

The tiny, two-seater electric vehicle operates much like a traditional car, but because each wheel is powered by its own motor, it can make extremely tight turns and even drive sideways when necessary. This capability could address issues that plague many big cities, notably traffic congestion and inadequate parking space.

The prototype has a top speed of around 40 mph, and it can travel up to 44 miles on a four-hour full battery charge. The car can transition from normal driving to driving sideways. It also can reduce in size to a total length of just 8.2 feet. This transformation, which involves shifting the axles while raising the car's body, provides the vehicle with the ability to slide in tight spaces that would be too small for traditional compact-sized auto-mobiles.
