Reptilian Roadster
Designer Zhi Min Lin’s prediction for the future of ground transportation is that cities will become so crowded & dense that new streets will eventually change from the current 2D flat roads into a 3D U shape to utilize limited space. The U-Wall Lizard is a vehicle adapted for driving on these new roads. Four independently powered wheels, expandable clawed tires & a unique suspension system allow it to grip terrain on both horizontal & highly angled surfaces all while balancing the body of the vehicle.

Looks cool but the history of civilization tends to improve roads, instead of replacing them with ice-covered luge tracks. I would pitch this as an off-road vehicle, not the future of urban transportation.
This would be an amazing video-game vehicle but the driver clearly has zero visibility (you covered the windshield with bars) and the claw wheels would simply jam with debris as they tried to close. Interesting… but pitch it to Bungie, not Ford.
