Motorcycle drivers will tell you how lucky there are to find urban parking for their wheels so convenient; the HERE Car concept would afford more motorists this expedience with a [design that compresses horizontally](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dacia-hipster).

Seunghun Jeong and Ludovico Campana submitted this cutting-edge conveyance idea to the 2014 Michelin Challenge Design.

When it's activated, the HERE automobile pops out from its slim profile and into the form of a cube. Four seats will inflate immediately, conforming to the particular settings of its usual passengers. The occupants are offered expansive windows for a great view during a social journey. The sides of the HERE Car can even transform into a [digital screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rideable-aipowered-personal-assistant) for all sorts of hi-tech applications.
