Go Ahead, Cram 3 of These Folding Cars Into 1 Parking Spot
The Hiriko electric vehicle is so cute you might just want to pick it up and carry it home.
Ever wanted to whirl around the city in a metallic gnat's head while consuming zero gasoline? Then your weird dreams have come true, via the Hiriko smart car that folds like an envelope to squeeze into impossible parking spots.
Hiriko is being promoted by Basque auto society AFYPAIDA in collaboration with MIT's Changing Places Group and DENOKINN. It's billed as the world's first "self-folding vehicle," even though America's monster-truck rallies have possessed this technology for some time. Let's just say it's the world's smallest bendable car.
