This innovative vehicle design called the Audi Snook designed by Tilmann Schlootz won a Michelin Challenge Design Award 2008 at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. Take a look at the multi-directional engine which consists of a sphere-wheel and enables the driver to navigate and steer the auto-stabilized cain in every direction. You’ll feel new driving experience, Audi Snook offers new maneuvers, fun driving, and satisfying the needs of future urban mobility.

 

How the heck does this lightbulb-shaped vehicle with a trackball wheel underneath stay upright? “Agility through instability, controlled by artificial intelligence — that is my formal issue,” answers designer Schlootz. Looks like a carnival ride to us. Let’s hope that artificial intelligence does the driving, too.
