Korean car shrinks half and parked itself


Would not it be great if your car can be folded in any way and to gather in a suitcase? So instead of walking around like crazy in search of parking spots will just shoulder of back.
At this stage it can only happen in some science fiction movie, but one thing is certain - there is no real attempt in this direction.
Recently presented the prototype Armadillo-T, which literally changed perceptions of the typical city car. The electric model can be folded almost in half before self to park a car impossible for other places. You have to do is download the smartphone application with which to navigate the odd car.
The revolutionary prototype is built in South Korea and probably will never be put into production. However, this is the first model of the company, which will deal only with the construction of ecological city car.
Armadillo-T was named the animal armadillo, which also has the ability to change shape by elastic bands. Minicar moves only current and normal mode can travel about 100 kilometers. Curiously, the lithium-ion battery is charged up to the maximum capacity for only 10 minutes. The maximum speed is even 65 km / h, which is enough for the city, where the limit is usually 50 kilometers.
Dynamic performance and fast charging definitely not the main advantages of "battleship". His big plus is connected with parking. After receiving navigation for the selected location, Armadillo-T gets to work and without any problems carry out the task. For a few seconds the rear is raised to the roof and in the final phase Cover front. So practical minicar folds in half and its length reduced to only 1.65 m.
"Our car can be parked on every corner, whether on the street in front of a residential building or shopping center," explained Professor. Dry Yin Su of the Korean Institute of Science and Technology, who is the chief project manager. Su and his colleagues have found a very interesting way to replace painfully familiar mirrors.
Instead Koreans have put tiny digital cameras that show what happens to the side and rear of a special screen in the cockpit. Windows-based computer system is associated with the smartphone to the driver by the above-mentioned application. Then you only need to activate the program and Armadillo-T park alone.
Armadillo car can not move around in South Korea as yet does not cover safety standards.
Its main weakness in this respect is the insufficient security body in a side impact. According to Su Government must change the regulation in so far as concerns small city cars.
"However, they are designed to manage in exactly defined conditions and the speed is relatively low, there is a danger to the driver and passenger," says the professor. This is unlikely to happen soon, not to mention such a change in the regulations on the European market.
But surely interest in such cars is huge not only for their exotic appearance. People obviously really bored with high costs in the city and the permanent parking problems. Nearly 800,000 spectators watched the video of the presentation of the Armadillo-T in internet, indicating that it may be a matter of time to see folding car on the street.
