  • The world's most futuristic car concept has just been unveiled by Renault.  It has no wheels.  Here are some key facts:
  • Called The Float, it's an engineering and innovation wonder, unlike any other car concept before
  • Has no wheels and literally floats over the road on its glass pods
  • Relies in Maglev technology - magnetic levitation - to travel
  • The autonomous hovering vehicle is based on the technology in Elon Musk's hyperloop
  • Composed of pods that can be magnetically belted together
  • Each pod can carry 1 or 2 people
  • Designed by 23-year-old Yuchin Cai for Renault
  • Very glossy, bubble-like structure with a transparent glass exterior and sliding glass doors
  • The Float is ready for a future of driving on roads with magnetic technology embedded in them.
