A Folding Car by MIT?!

   Phones and stuff by the professionals was enough for my 64-bit brain to process, but this needs 128! What I mean is that this is totally awesome. This "folding car" by MIT college students just blows my mind. The city car is called Hiriko, meaning from the city, is an electric, explaining the size. Since the model will be expected to be sold, the people of the USA are willing a 12,500 price for this two seater, foldable car. 



    The Hiriko had problems like everything in the world that causes some changes and differences in what you see today. For instance, each of the Hiriko's wheels has drive motors, steering, braking, and suspension to use space in the cabin. It also uses swinging windshields instead of doors, since that would mess up the folding process. And when this magnificent beauty is all folded up, in one parking space it can fit three of them. Impressive you say? Then you are most definetly correct. These "cars" haven't been released to public yet, so they are being tested in various places around the world.
