An interesting new concept car collects power using solar panels and then raises them to help it slow down.Jeremy Hsu at Popsci.com reports:
"The BMW Lovos has 260 exterior flaps that can collect solar power and act as airbrakes at the same time. The wacky car concept comes from Anne Forschner, a 24-year-old graduate of Pforzheim University in Germany. Each scale-like flap holds solar photovoltaic cells and can move to follow the sun or act as individual airbrakes. We can only imagine that seeing a full-scale version of this car driving around might bring to mind a Beast Machine Transformer, or a ruffled feathered dino made metallic." See full article.
