In class in Phoenix, AZ

“Hey, do you know if it’s cool to park in the $12 parking lot?” Guy asked.

“You parked in a $12 parking lot?!” Girl asked.

“Ha, yeah,” Guy laughed. “Honestly, dude, I was afraid of my car being jacked.”

“Are you serious?!” Girl asked.

“Dude, you, like, don’t even know,” Guy said. “People will just walk by and have to steal something from it.”

Although this car design is just a concept, and most likely all it will ever be, it is definitely something interesting to think about. The design was created by Pforzheim University alumni Anne Forschner for BMW. The concept has many different panels all covered in solar photovoltaic cells that can both charge the car and act as wind brakes. A great car in theory, but something tells me most people wouldn’t be too happy if they saw this car flare its panels on the highway.
