The Snake was designed by Liwen He to solve the many problems associated with driving in a [crowded city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-numa-concept). The Snake concept car can seat two, and is [designed like a roadster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theory-1). All comparisons to a normal car end there, as the Snake's body and capabilities are like nothing ever seen before. This car can bend and contort, just like a real serpent slithering its way through traffic. When parking, the car can fold up, just like a snake curls up into a ball. The vehicle is designed with a noticeable lack of a trunk, but that issue is remedies by the snake's ability to hold luggage in its body. Like a real snake, this vehicle's body is able to expand when you put stuff inside of it. He's car is equal parts creepy and creative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bending Car Design:** There are opportunities for disruptive innovation in developing car designs that can bend and contort like the Snake concept car, enabling easier navigation in crowded cities. - **Adaptive Parking Technology:** The Snake concept car's ability to fold up when parking presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the development of adaptive parking technology for compact vehicles. - **Expandable Car Storage Solutions:** The Snake concept car's unique ability to hold luggage in its body, expanding like a real snake, opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the creation of expandable car storage solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Design:** The bending car design trend offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the automotive design industry, pushing boundaries for flexible and adaptable vehicle structures. - **Smart Parking Systems:** The adaptive parking technology trend creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the smart parking systems industry, revolutionizing parking solutions for compact vehicles. - **Travel and Transportation:** The expandable car storage solutions trend presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the travel and transportation industry, providing innovative solutions for maximizing storage capacity in vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Chassis Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-evanora-concept.md) - [Road-Ready Dune Buggy Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fordzilla-hypervan.md) - [Electric Superhero Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p64-lancehead.md) - [Two-Wheeled EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-electric-car.md) - [Snake-Resembling Sculptural Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuzhi.md) - [Contoured Limousine-Like Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saab-aerostream.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md) - [Stealthy Fantasy-Themed Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f117-4wd-covenant.md)
