The major question is though what controls it? A computer? What about cars not fitted with all the gadgetry? Then the inevitable hacking and such of these things. Just seems silly. More silly than an internal combustion engine powered car which in itself is very silly (a metal box powered by explosions...)

Technical issues aside, it looks like there isn't any forward-facing windows, and that's a recipe for motion sickness for many people. Conceptual design is all very well and good, but can't it take reality into consideration? Pretty, but impractical.
