The designer of this avant-garde 'Equilibrium' concept is Bob Romkes who tries to show us how our cars will look in the near future. As our technology gets closer and closer to simulating a [living organism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-movr), this car also shares similar traits.

Bob Romkes' Equilibrium (EQ) is an [advanced car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hypercar-prototype) that embodies the latest technologies and some future ones.
