The Hemispherical Car
A round bubble car with the driving seat in the middle and passengers around the outside. The driving wheel and engine are in the centre. There are 3 or possibly 4 wheels on the perifery which pivot like on a shopping trolly. There is no reverse only forwards but the car can go in any direction (360 degrees manoeverability) because of the unique centre driving wheel which is in fact a large ball. The drivers seat moves around the ball to point the car in different directions. It is the ultimate smart car.
Think of the benefits: Parking is great simply poing the car at the curb and drive straight in. No more 3 point turns, 360 degree visibility and many more.
