The Mercedes-Benz Arrow by Felipe Palermo is a concept car that looks towards the future. Way towards the future--like 2050. This is the car that I will be driving when I am 70 years old.
The Arrow is based on the idea that people will no longer need cars for daily life as there will be rail systems to do that for you. Instead, the Mercedes-Benz Arrow is a kind of recreational vehicle, with tires that will never wear out because you simply have to re-inject them with rubber, similar to what I will be doing with my face around that time.
