Finding parking is often a nightmare, and chances are when you do manage to find a space it’s a tight squeeze. Of course, parking related issues wouldn’t crop up if our car’s folded up.
Which is exactly what the MIT-designed Hiriko Fold electric car does.
Director of the MIT Media Lab, Kent Larson says the entire car folds into two thirds of its length, making it as long as a normal car is wide.
According to Paul Saffo, Consulting Professor at Stanford University, the Hiriko is a huge advantage in a city where parking is limited, and was actually designed as a rentable method of public transport. Nifty!
