Mercedes released this video of real world driving of their futuristic concept car, the Vision AVTR that features wheels that can move the car sideways and no steering wheel:


I know it is a just a prototype but it is still super cool.

Not sure what the little fins on the back are for other than to be different.

I do wonder if the "mushroom stick" will really work though. For example, when making a 90 degree turn at an intersection or when taking a sharp curve at 60 mph, I am not sure it is obvious how much torque to apply. I feel like a steering wheel is easier to use.

I do think if the car were fully self-driving, it would be a super cool car to have.

Well, another CGI video of a new Batman car.

I think Audi presented a similar concept of wheels few years ago.
