Parallel parking refers to parking at the side of the road, often with one car in front and one car behind the slot you want to get your car into. Doors are usually pavement-side and road-side, so you wouldn't have difficulty getting out of the car. In the situation you're talking about (which is not parallel parking), presumably you get out and tell the car to park itself. Either way you're not stuck in the car.
flying cars would make traffic a nightmare, right now if your car breaks down you can simply pull over and pop in a new one, if flying cars were implemented and your car breaks down, you will be plummeting from the sky wreaking havoc to anyone under you.
Well considering we thought we'd have flying cars back in the 90's and early 2000s I highly doubt that we will be seeing these anytime in the next 30 years.
@@rickard1200 I'm sure it's possible. They already have Trains that run on a magnetic system. It just isn't practical or affordable, not to mention it probably wouldn't do well in snowy conditions because of snow and ice clogging up the wheel wells.
Flying cars were invented in 1934. Planes just make more sense. You don't want to look up and see a bunch of flying objects in the air as opposed to one big object carrying all those people to where they need to be.
Unnown user, if the rear tyres are configured to behave like ordinary rear wheels, then this car can drift just as well as any other car :) Just because the tires are round doesn't mean they have infinite grip, or necessarily have to roll sideways if you don't want them to
magnetic levitation is not that hard. usually you'd take an arangement of coils, apply a special pattern of AC to each coil. when you bring copper (or any non-magnetic+conductive material) close to it, the coils will induce a current in the copper. the copper turns the enduced current into a magnetic field wich opposes the ones of the coils. not sure if i really need to clarify that, but its not verry efficient
Just a few things I've noticed: 1. Say you're at 100km/h and you want an emergency brake, how will a magnetic system fare against actual metal pistons? 2. If the magnet is that strong how much power would it consume? 3. Wouldn't such a strong magnet attract magnetic debris such as iron nails? 4. Suppose someone forgot to turn off the system power and is somehow doing a tyre change, would he/she be electrocuted by a strong current for touching the wrong places? Or maybe his/her metallic watch will get stuck to the magnetic device and crush his/her wrist? 5. Just how expensive is this tyre compared to the already expensive normal tyres? 6. Are the magnetic/electrical components within the tyre delicate and prone to damage due to strong impact like obstacles on the road? 7. What happens if your car runs out of power, will the wheels roll off? 8. Ferromagnets lose functionality when temperature is high, would the wheel malfunction on hot tar roads on a sunny day? 9. Is Goodyear going to manufacture a brand new type of car just to use these tyres? How heavenly would it cost? 10. The tyres auto-communicating with other tyres doesn't sound safe at all. 11. If you park so close to each other laterally how do you plan to get out/in of your car? And how do you plan to move out of the car park if the cars are parked head-to-tail of each other? 12. How much can we trust a system so dependent on automation? 13. How complicated/counter-intuitive would steering become? 14. The wheels travel independent of the direction the car is facing, would that result in more accidents? 15. All it takes is to spray some ferromagnetic material to whatever surface your wheels are attracted to, and your vehicle is completely wasted. There are more but these problems are already bad enough.
6. Probes are landed on Mars and survive the impact. 7. The car sits on the tyres. 9. Different companies can make compatible products for mutual profit. 10. I don't know that the tyres _do_ talk to each other. 11. You get in and out _before_ completing the parking procedure. 12. How can we fly in planes? 13. There's such a thing as a computer. Expensive cars already have four-wheel steering, dependent on the speed, that is completely transparent to the driver.
Great questions. I personally know I wouldn't depend on something 100% automated that I have no control over. The one you asked about loss of power is something that already crossed my mind. Since it works on energy, what happens to the car when the tyres drain of energy.
Pilots are still required to fly manually when they can to keep trained for an eventuality such as this which actually happened: a plane crashed into the water at 150mph instantaneously killing all occupants after a sensor froze and since the pilot had mostly flown under auto pilot he made much more mistakes than he would have done if he was flying manually the whole time. No safety critical system should rely on automation for it to be functional thats just dangerous. Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly.
megaspeed2v2 "Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly." I love that.
That's entirely dependent on how good your automation is. Both humans and electromechanical devices have an error rate. If the error rate of an electromechanical device is significantly lower than the error rate of a human operator, the electromechanical device should take precedent. Activities like piloting vehicles are outside of a humans evolutionary "design parameters" (remember, we evolved to hunt, forage, and survive predators, not pilot tons of metal at hundreds of mph), the fact that we can do it at all is a testament to biological adaptability, but it is still eminently feasible to design a purpose-built system which is superior to a human for that specific task. As a counterpoint to the example you give, it should be noted that the most common cause of aviation disasters by far is human error, and several disasters have been caused by pilots overriding, or air traffic controllers ignoring warnings from, automated systems.
Ha Hi Yeah, but then you tell your bud that you've got information that could put Hillary in prison, and suddenly, your automatic car mysteriously 'reroutes' off a cliff... Harambe will have died for nothing.

@@breadsticks1655 there is no need to redo architecture from.modern architecture but because it looks futuristic more than practicality . However spherical wheels still have a few benefits as this video points out .
Jesse Ridgeway A modification is re-inventing. Inventions are not necessarily a completely original idea. Most inventions are just modified versions of something that already exists. That's why products are an evolution. A wheel is simply a round object designed to rotate around a central axis. There are millions of objects that fit a wheel description.
well at 0:47 you can see that the wheels wouldn't be able to slide out. Maybe if they had a side hatch to swap tires, then you could use that to get the tires out. (yes I know that's a concept car but my point stands)
Well he mentioned something about magnetic forces?.. so no wheels that accelerate the sphere-like "wheels".. So it hovers on those balls..? it's really interesting but I don't understand how it gains speed and comes to a stop.
Car hovering means it can only travel on a special track. Wheel hovering means you only need to lift the car against the magnetic wheels. A much easier problem, and the more versatile solution than trying to build flying cars...
It takes a special kind of person to become upset over a comment on a video, stoop to name calling over the internet, behind the safe confines of their keyboard... Congrats, you get a gold star special person!
No explanation on how power is transferred to the wheels or how they are mounted in a rose/ball joint like that whilst accommodating the vehicle weight. they designed a wheel that no car can or will be able to use. This is nonsense.
Morlanius As for the power, I can only assume that they are implementing a superior form of wireless power exchange between the car and tire. About accommodating the weight of the vehicle while in its "joint" or whatever you'd call it, it uses magnetic forces that would push equally with the cars weight.
Morlanius You mean power will be transmitted to the weels through waves such as how phones could be able to transmit to others without cables. C'mon man this is 6th grade science stuff, I should know Im in 6th grade!!
+wipout1 They havent invented a way to transfer power magnetically from the engine to the tire, and how will they lock the tires for parking? Burnouts and drifting ?...forget about it.

+wipout1 This is not about recreating the feel of a 1970 race car, This is about making the roads safer for those of us that can still drive by taking the controls from morons that should not operate more than a push mower.
Oh, I get it now. Each wheelwell is going to be a hemispherical brushless electric motor. The tire itself is the central portion of the brushless motor, meaning, no energy wasted on axles, planetary gears, etc. I like the concept. Those tires will weigh quite a lot with those magnets in it. I think that'll be the primary engineering challenge.
Милен Маринов but its the magnet that keeps them running, so probably if the magnet dies the tires will lock themselves, im sure the people who are designing tires for cars have thought about braking with the tires.
I imagined something like this recently, I guess it wasn't as crazy as I thought since major companies are working on it. In my mind I pictured one large spherical tire in the center of the vehicle. The car body would be more like a square or torus shaped passenger hub where everyone sits around the wheel. The thing that has always annoyed me about the current design of cars and traffic is that it works best while moving forwards, but as soon as someone miscalculates a turn, tries to merge too early, or gets in some kind of jam, traffic needs to move backwards an everything comes to a halt, all because cars don't have lateral movement. It will take a lot of time to implement these technologies no matter what the design is, because the roads, homes and parking bays that exist now are all designed around the current car technology. One cityscape that always inspired me was in the movie Minority Report, where cars could move vertically along wall-roads, and also rotate on the spot to fit onto roads of different width.
SkiFyre Gaming A regular tire is basically a widened circle. This is a tire in the shape of a sphere, also, the tread is different, meaning you could have more or less material required, we also do not know if the tire is hollow or partially filled. Basic logic. Calm your titties.
Afaik, sensor technology is known to be very sensitive to all sorts of influences and break under those influences. Cars experience a very wide range of influences that can cause sensor malfunctions. I mean anybody with simple fucking parking sensors i know of has relied on it and had a bump-in due to malfunction. We're a long way from being able to make robust sensors. On top of that, the power transfer to the spheres, what will make em rotate? I'd guess that such a system either requires high amounts of current which batteries can't provide for a long enough time or it would be very delicate and not powerfull enough to propell a car. I don't mind the dreaming, i do mind that it's presented as something that is already practical.
AwoudeX This is a concept, and the whole reasons behind concepts is to analyse the flaws and challenges and adapt it to future technologies. Flying cars for example, they don't exist and will probably not get invented, but the whole venture has allowed us to study levitation more in depth...
They are basically telling you that they don't really care how many people dies, and if they pay to corrupt your Govt they will still sell their dumb wheels like many brands from the Oil Mafia so they can get richer and if there are someone against it they will try assassinate it just like JFK.. there are better things than rubber..
I'm not saying this couldn't work but it is wildly impractical. The video shows the car is levitated magnetically however the energy needed to do this is so high it becomes very hard to think such an idea would work out. For example; an average car weighs about 1300 kilos (however the concept here is likely much heavier assuming magnets are used for levitation. magnets are bloody heavy!) The force required to counter-act gravity is F=1300*9.81= 12753 newtons required to levitate your car. Which would mean that 12753 watts are needed to lift your car. To lift that car for 1 hour you would use 12.753 kWh of power. This is more than the average amarican household uses (which is 10.812 kWh). I hope you see now that this levitating is very impractical and expensive and rolling or other means are much better suited for transportation. PS. i know you guys will say: But roy, those japanese maglev trains are doing that exact thing right? well yes but the rails and such of the maglev contain all the heavy magnets and the train itself is relatively light so in this case it's much more efficient and practical.
Player194 not with Thorium Nuclear Reactor, it would be covered surrounded by liquid salt and if the Thoruim failed for any reason, the salt would solidify and stop any leaks. Basically, it self regulates so there can't be any disaster. Plus unlike Uranium, Thorium doesn't require super high temp for operation, and the the half life of Thoruim is very small compared to Uranium. And 1 ton on Thoruim can make the same amount as 250 tons of Uranium, so there is a small waste.
Yeah because when a car equipped with these gets into an accident, I want a 300LB magnetic-rubber sphere of momentum uncontrollably flying into something
This kind of smooth brain ideology would’ve prevented cars from ever being made in the first place. I’m surprised you’re not griping about how we should all be riding horses.
@@FirstFamilyCharger However, I don’t agree with your statement. When automobiles were first pondered upon, there was no alternative for comparison. While this idea, is to replace a wheel and tire assembly which on average weighs about 60 pounds.
to be fair these have tonnes extra grip and would be equipped in a car with supremem abs and road sensing, so it'd brake to a stop a mile away. though I agree; this is a stupid idea.
Hidden Clone b-b-but you won't be able to um... to turn sideways without turning... so pay over that 200k per tire come on you don't have a choice now.
Vestbi again have you heard of up scale, I'm not defending this type of tire but I feel this must be addressed. All things are expensive at first but then something called upscale takes place in which companies find the most effective way of mass producing said product while offering a decent performance(relative) for the customer. This upscale does not happen over night either it takes years to to work down into a plan but once it's there you would be paying for these new tires just like the current tires we have today of course there is always inflation or deflation of currency ( I can't remember the word for the inverse of inflation) which would change prices in the future but alas every thing comes down to relative cheapness once supply and demand re establish.

Don't know about where you live but here in New Jersey, there's a timer on the green light for pedestrians. Once the countdown reaches zero, the don't walk sign shows up and the light turns green for the other road a couple seconds later. Not exactly a red light timer, but close enough.

Exactly, !!! it was a dream i made few months ago, no contact with the car, only contact with the road . We have technology to do it, really fantastic !!!
"There is no mechanical contact with the car". I'm thinking to myslef, What would happen when it hits a bump and the car gets airborne a foot or two? Will the wheels get ejected from under the car because of the magnets pushing on it? Also, How is it going to brake? And what about its acceleration? If you know anything about MagLev trains, it takes a significant distance to get it up to speed and for it to stop! Also, what would happen if you are trying to park on a hill or at a slight angle. There would need to be some incredibly powerful processor to compensate for every little thing it touches.
Nicholas Luis it would require a flat surface for parking, or a locking mechanism grappling the wheels when the multiple electromagnets suspending the car over the wheels isn't active. but a flat surface for parking would be ideal.. theoretically getting the technology to work would be easier than making it work effieciently for the use of moving vehicles forward.. nevermind the safety issues it poses on a road. 4 wheel turning is a more intresting idea, easier to design, the concept of turning 360 degrees on the spot and being able to slide sideways would look rather amusing.. would introduce a new more fluid movement during car chases in action movies, at the very least.

theodoros tsilikis you see everyone's looking in the wrong direction the answer isn't sphere, square or triangle the only logical choice for shape is trapezoid
Forgive me, I thought you were talking about the price. But the car would have to output enough energy to counter the force of gravity and it has to move so it probably will use a lot more power than any electric car.
I will say it again. The car would have to output enough energy to counter the force of gravity because it is levitating and it would have to move like a normal car. Go find a very heavy object and see how long you can hold it in place before you get tired.
If you have a magnet in the car making it positive. Then the outside of the ball also being positive, it'll repel. That's nothing new and shouldn't surprise anyone. What I'm most interested in is how braking is going to work with these. How strong does the magnet have to be to stop the vehicle and how much can it be before it lifts the car too high. Don't even worry about these. They're just an idea, nothing like this is actually functional.
Drifting would be easy as hell. It wouldnt even be a drift tho.... it would be driving sideways....

well there are several problems , the first is how are they attached , second is how do you supply power to these ? so far it is nothing more than a over priced rubber bouncy ball
Tobias James I think somehow the smart people who created this thought about those two issues.

Finally I will be able to parallel park!
not for a woman it is
Ugh it would be a breeze with this tech lol
Parallel parking refers to parking at the side of the road, often with one car in front and one car behind the slot you want to get your car into. Doors are usually pavement-side and road-side, so you wouldn't have difficulty getting out of the car.
In the situation you're talking about (which is not parallel parking), presumably you get out and tell the car to park itself. Either way you're not stuck in the car.

flying cars would make traffic a nightmare, right now if your car breaks down you can simply pull over and pop in a new one, if flying cars were implemented and your car breaks down, you will be plummeting from the sky wreaking havoc to anyone under you.
mike hunt- Fuck that insurance would be through the ------ roof. 😤
They launch flying taxis in Dubai this year. (which are drones, so theyre rather helicopters than cars. but yeah, "flying taxis")
Flying cars are more real than this. Drones are prototypes of future flying cars. Just a light version of helicopter. Tons of new problems.
Well, what is a flying car? Because depending on the definition you give it, a helicopter or an airplane might be one.
Well considering we thought we'd have flying cars back in the 90's and early 2000s I highly doubt that we will be seeing these anytime in the next 30 years.
I mean, even the crappiest of phones nowadays is more powerful than the rocket that sent the first humans to the moon was so it’s not impossible.
@@rickard1200 I'm sure it's possible. They already have Trains that run on a magnetic system. It just isn't practical or affordable, not to mention it probably wouldn't do well in snowy conditions because of snow and ice clogging up the wheel wells.

Unnown user, if the rear tyres are configured to behave like ordinary rear wheels, then this car can drift just as well as any other car :) Just because the tires are round doesn't mean they have infinite grip, or necessarily have to roll sideways if you don't want them to
less surface area of the tire would be touching the ground for a round tide then regular, so there would be far less traction for sure.

Just thinking the same damn thing XD
Was going to comment that till I seen this
Someone has watched I-robot
dschonsie just thinking that
Yea
Total recall 😀
Someone from Irobot got the idea from scientists.
dschonsie: Exactly.
'Magnetic levitation' - that's gonna take a bung load of energy.
It's also gonna need technology we don't have.
What do you mean by ”technology we don’t have”?
magnetic levitation is not that hard.
usually you'd take an arangement of coils, apply a special pattern of AC to each coil.
when you bring copper (or any non-magnetic+conductive material) close to it, the coils will induce a current in the copper. the copper turns the enduced current into a magnetic field wich opposes the ones of the coils.
not sure if i really need to clarify that, but its not verry efficient
Haven’t you ever heard of a magnet train?
@@tobbleboii5988 now what technology would allow people to attach these tired to a car via magnetic levitation and control the direction they spin?
More alien tech obtained by negotiating with gray aliens.
Just a few things I've noticed:
1. Say you're at 100km/h and you want an emergency brake, how will a magnetic system fare against actual metal pistons?
2. If the magnet is that strong how much power would it consume?
3. Wouldn't such a strong magnet attract magnetic debris such as iron nails?
4. Suppose someone forgot to turn off the system power and is somehow doing a tyre change, would he/she be electrocuted by a strong current for touching the wrong places? Or maybe his/her metallic watch will get stuck to the magnetic device and crush his/her wrist?
5. Just how expensive is this tyre compared to the already expensive normal tyres?
6. Are the magnetic/electrical components within the tyre delicate and prone to damage due to strong impact like obstacles on the road?
7. What happens if your car runs out of power, will the wheels roll off?
8. Ferromagnets lose functionality when temperature is high, would the wheel malfunction on hot tar roads on a sunny day?
9. Is Goodyear going to manufacture a brand new type of car just to use these tyres? How heavenly would it cost?
10. The tyres auto-communicating with other tyres doesn't sound safe at all.
11. If you park so close to each other laterally how do you plan to get out/in of your car? And how do you plan to move out of the car park if the cars are parked head-to-tail of each other?
12. How much can we trust a system so dependent on automation?
13. How complicated/counter-intuitive would steering become?
14. The wheels travel independent of the direction the car is facing, would that result in more accidents?
15. All it takes is to spray some ferromagnetic material to whatever surface your wheels are attracted to, and your vehicle is completely wasted.
There are more but these problems are already bad enough.
6. Probes are landed on Mars and survive the impact.
7. The car sits on the tyres.
9. Different companies can make compatible products for mutual profit.
10. I don't know that the tyres _do_ talk to each other.
11. You get in and out _before_ completing the parking procedure.
12. How can we fly in planes?
13. There's such a thing as a computer. Expensive cars already have four-wheel steering, dependent on the speed, that is completely transparent to the driver.
Great questions. I personally know I wouldn't depend on something 100% automated that I have no control over.
The one you asked about loss of power is something that already crossed my mind.
Since it works on energy, what happens to the car when the tyres drain of energy.
Pilots are still required to fly manually when they can to keep trained for an eventuality such as this which actually happened: a plane crashed into the water at 150mph instantaneously killing all occupants after a sensor froze and since the pilot had mostly flown under auto pilot he made much more mistakes than he would have done if he was flying manually the whole time. No safety critical system should rely on automation for it to be functional thats just dangerous. Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly.
megaspeed2v2 "Automation should only be applied in a way that assists the human in control but keeps the human in control at all times so when something does go wrong they can act accordingly."
I love that.
That's entirely dependent on how good your automation is. Both humans and electromechanical devices have an error rate. If the error rate of an electromechanical device is significantly lower than the error rate of a human operator, the electromechanical device should take precedent. Activities like piloting vehicles are outside of a humans evolutionary "design parameters" (remember, we evolved to hunt, forage, and survive predators, not pilot tons of metal at hundreds of mph), the fact that we can do it at all is a testament to biological adaptability, but it is still eminently feasible to design a purpose-built system which is superior to a human for that specific task. As a counterpoint to the example you give, it should be noted that the most common cause of aviation disasters by far is human error, and several disasters have been caused by pilots overriding, or air traffic controllers ignoring warnings from, automated systems.

A modification is re-inventing. Inventions are not necessarily a completely original idea. Most inventions are just modified versions of something that already exists. That's why products are an evolution. A wheel is simply a round object designed to rotate around a central axis. There are millions of objects that fit a wheel description.

what about the cost bruh? this will happen in 100 years or more
well at 0:47 you can see that the wheels wouldn't be able to slide out. Maybe if they had a side hatch to swap tires, then you could use that to get the tires out. (yes I know that's a concept car but my point stands)
It'd be pretty easy to make sure the wheels once installed would only work with that car making stealing them a bit useless.

im thinking induction motor inside the wheel covered in rubber so maybe changing polarity will stop it

TheSixthSense not exactly
Basically yes.
It's spherical...SPHERICAL !
at this point why not just make the car hover
Because then Goodyear will be out of business. They need to design a tire that you can't remove on your own, so they can charge you more for labor.
Car hovering means it can only travel on a special track. Wheel hovering means you only need to lift the car against the magnetic wheels. A much easier problem, and the more versatile solution than trying to build flying cars...
Because for levitation we will need a magnetic street and this would cost billions of dollars

No explanation on how power is transferred to the wheels or how they are mounted in a rose/ball joint like that whilst accommodating the vehicle weight. they designed a wheel that no car can or will be able to use. This is nonsense.
Morlanius As for the power, I can only assume that they are implementing a superior form of wireless power exchange between the car and tire. About accommodating the weight of the vehicle while in its "joint" or whatever you'd call it, it uses magnetic forces that would push equally with the cars weight.
Morlanius You mean power will be transmitted to the weels through waves such as how phones could be able to transmit to others without cables. C'mon man this is 6th grade science stuff, I should know Im in 6th grade!!
Morlanius Im sure they are working with other companies or working on building their own new advanced cars that will hold such thing as the new wheel
Mike Awesomeness talking about transferring movement though....much different than transmitting signal.
That would be one hell of an EMF required to rapidly throw the direction of these tires with that much weight on them.

piss off normie
jamaica vybz i think you're in the wrong comment chain?
People think the same thing about the modelT. They said nothing is more reliable than a horse and buggy
Oh, I get it now. Each wheelwell is going to be a hemispherical brushless electric motor.
The tire itself is the central portion of the brushless motor, meaning, no energy wasted on axles, planetary gears, etc.
I like the concept.
Those tires will weigh quite a lot with those magnets in it. I think that'll be the primary engineering challenge.
Braking seems to be dangerous relying only on battery power and magnetic force.
well magnetism is one of natures own powers, and relying on that is gonna be just as dangerous as relying on a piece of metal.
Currently you can apply manual break force even with the engine off and no battery. How do you stop these magnetic wheels if your battery dies?
Милен Маринов but its the magnet that keeps them running, so probably if the magnet dies the tires will lock themselves, im sure the people who are designing tires for cars have thought about braking with the tires.
Sure, but there are better and worse solutions. Also, it's still just a concept. So I would like to know what they've come up with so far.
I imagined something like this recently, I guess it wasn't as crazy as I thought since major companies are working on it. In my mind I pictured one large spherical tire in the center of the vehicle. The car body would be more like a square or torus shaped passenger hub where everyone sits around the wheel.
The thing that has always annoyed me about the current design of cars and traffic is that it works best while moving forwards, but as soon as someone miscalculates a turn, tries to merge too early, or gets in some kind of jam, traffic needs to move backwards an everything comes to a halt, all because cars don't have lateral movement.
It will take a lot of time to implement these technologies no matter what the design is, because the roads, homes and parking bays that exist now are all designed around the current car technology. One cityscape that always inspired me was in the movie Minority Report, where cars could move vertically along wall-roads, and also rotate on the spot to fit onto roads of different width.

SkiFyre Gaming not really but ok kid
Raul R.O it's kinda hard to understand without a brain my dude.
SkiFyre Gaming A regular tire is basically a widened circle. This is a tire in the shape of a sphere, also, the tread is different, meaning you could have more or less material required, we also do not know if the tire is hollow or partially filled. Basic logic. Calm your titties.
SkiFyre Gaming Also with the added material you have tens of times more potential mileage, reward putweighs risk.
Raul R.O great! What do you want?
2019 is basically like living in the 1300's compared to when this stuff is mainstream
more sensors means more problems
Fewer moving parts can also mean less problems. Maybe it will even out.
Afaik, sensor technology is known to be very sensitive to all sorts of influences and break under those influences. Cars experience a very wide range of influences that can cause sensor malfunctions. I mean anybody with simple fucking parking sensors i know of has relied on it and had a bump-in due to malfunction. We're a long way from being able to make robust sensors.
On top of that, the power transfer to the spheres, what will make em rotate? I'd guess that such a system either requires high amounts of current which batteries can't provide for a long enough time or it would be very delicate and not powerfull enough to propell a car.
I don't mind the dreaming, i do mind that it's presented as something that is already practical.
AwoudeX This is a concept, and the whole reasons behind concepts is to analyse the flaws and challenges and adapt it to future technologies.
Flying cars for example, they don't exist and will probably not get invented, but the whole venture has allowed us to study levitation more in depth...
like biggie said mo senors mo problems
Matthew Hemmings Well some guy did develop one. But large scale manufacturing got shot down

I'm not saying this couldn't work but it is wildly impractical. The video shows the car is levitated magnetically however the energy needed to do this is so high it becomes very hard to think such an idea would work out.
For example; an average car weighs about 1300 kilos (however the concept here is likely much heavier assuming magnets are used for levitation. magnets are bloody heavy!) The force required to counter-act gravity is F=1300*9.81= 12753 newtons required to levitate your car.
Which would mean that 12753 watts are needed to lift your car. To lift that car for 1 hour you would use 12.753 kWh of power. This is more than the average amarican household uses (which is 10.812 kWh). I hope you see now that this levitating is very impractical and expensive and rolling or other means are much better suited for transportation.
PS. i know you guys will say: But roy, those japanese maglev trains are doing that exact thing right?
well yes but the rails and such of the maglev contain all the heavy magnets and the train itself is relatively light so in this case it's much more efficient and practical.
roy kneepkens nuclear powered batteries
Bikash Gautam and the car crash spill all the nuclear radiation on the road.
Player194 not with Thorium Nuclear Reactor, it would be covered surrounded by liquid salt and if the Thoruim failed for any reason, the salt would solidify and stop any leaks. Basically, it self regulates so there can't be any disaster.
Plus unlike Uranium, Thorium doesn't require super high temp for operation, and the the half life of Thoruim is very small compared to Uranium. And 1 ton on Thoruim can make the same amount as 250 tons of Uranium, so there is a small waste.
Bikash Gautam dude imagine if the car caught on fire though
Bikash Gautam please watch thunderfoots video on thorium powered cars. You will see that that too is not a good idea

Vestbi again have you heard of up scale, I'm not defending this type of tire but I feel this must be addressed. All things are expensive at first but then something called upscale takes place in which companies find the most effective way of mass producing said product while offering a decent performance(relative) for the customer. This upscale does not happen over night either it takes years to to work down into a plan but once it's there you would be paying for these new tires just like the current tires we have today of course there is always inflation or deflation of currency ( I can't remember the word for the inverse of inflation) which would change prices in the future but alas every thing comes down to relative cheapness once supply and demand re establish.

Alan Anzo not really I'd rather I nice looking car than a retarded car that looks like a delorian and a Volvo had sex but the child dressed like the 80's at the same time as dressing futuristic
who else thought the timer on the red lights was actually the best idea in the video?
That's a thing, but just not in the US.
Don't know about where you live but here in New Jersey, there's a timer on the green light for pedestrians. Once the countdown reaches zero, the don't walk sign shows up and the light turns green for the other road a couple seconds later. Not exactly a red light timer, but close enough.
Tevatron044 Where I live all traffic lights have countdowns
Marc D yeah but not like this. I have them too here in Florida on the walkways, but i like the way they had it here
Here in DC we have timers
much better make the car spherical...im going back to sleep
toybot bato Even better make a rock just like the old days
Imagine:
Alexander Graham Bell -" *a thing that carries our voices to far off places so we can talk to others that are far away. yeah right. might as well just swallow a megaphone. im going back to sleep.* "
...................ya see?
Exactly, !!! it was a dream i made few months ago, no contact with the car, only contact with the road . We have technology to do it, really fantastic !!!
Do not invest in tire companies. They will be obsolete in the future.
Invest in water companies and graveyards.
They never go out of style.

I ROBOT! That movie predicted this
Thats exactly what i was thinking
enterthetekken Wait...like you?
I love that movie
A lot of people have that last name.
they doesn't predict.... they Copied from I-Robot...😎
The tires can communicate with other cars! Holy shit I'm gonna need to learn how to be a hacker I'll have this whole world upside down
+Ssf4 And by the time you do, we will have developed sophisticated ways to block off hackers.
That's pretty scary if you put it into perspective. Some dude could hack into cars and throw them off a flippin bridge!
Ssf4 have you even heard of quantum computing....
How the hell would quantum computing fucking change that? All computers run on code and that code will always be hackable.
SleepNasty goddamn you have a point!

"There is no mechanical contact with the car". I'm thinking to myslef, What would happen when it hits a bump and the car gets airborne a foot or two? Will the wheels get ejected from under the car because of the magnets pushing on it? Also, How is it going to brake? And what about its acceleration? If you know anything about MagLev trains, it takes a significant distance to get it up to speed and for it to stop! Also, what would happen if you are trying to park on a hill or at a slight angle. There would need to be some incredibly powerful processor to compensate for every little thing it touches.

it would require a flat surface for parking, or a locking mechanism grappling the wheels when the multiple electromagnets suspending the car over the wheels isn't active.
but a flat surface for parking would be ideal..
theoretically getting the technology to work would be easier than making it work effieciently for the use of moving vehicles forward.. nevermind the safety issues it poses on a road.
4 wheel turning is a more intresting idea, easier to design, the concept of turning 360 degrees on the spot and being able to slide sideways would look rather amusing..
would introduce a new more fluid movement during car chases in action movies, at the very least.

Jerry Ekstrom Yes because EMP'S are not a thing besides design is ugly and this concept is Idiotic.
You don't need an engineering degree to come up with legitimate criticisms of something, it helps, but it isn't necessary. Sometimes people use their degrees or credentials to dupe others.
+bob sagot having a degree doesn't mean shit. a stupid idea is still a stupid idea, and if your average person can look at it and go 'this seems really fucking stupid', then it's probably a stupid idea.
SPHERICAL!!
How are you gonna get power and breaks into the wheels
Carno Gaming ever heard of brushless motor?
Carno Gaming who needs brakes when no one dies in the future?
-
Will Smith in 'I, Robot'
Carno Gaming by changing the magnetic fields it might be possible to slow the wheels rotation or speed it up
We want drifting not balling
Reda Top you mean rolling, you don't kick a ball and say look it's balling 🤣
😁👌👌
Do you remember the cars from the movie "I robot"
also Minority Report.... good catch.
DAVIZ OPZ That's what I thought. I Robot
YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A CAR ACCIDENT
***** good movies
looks like cars from Recall movie ..they newer one
This paired with electromagnetic suspension would be incredible.
future tires will be cubes,trust me,cubes can do much more...
theodoros tsilikis I'm hoping for triangle, but that will be painful for your butt.
theodoros tsilikis you see everyone's looking in the wrong direction the answer isn't sphere, square or triangle the only logical choice for shape is trapezoid
wouldn't cubes make for a very bumpy ride?
son that's too much minecraft for you
theodoros tsilikis How? You'd have to make the roads bumpy so that the wheels could correlate to a 360° smooth rotation.
Lets talk more about it in 2050
amazing! now consider the cost of replacement... jeepers
Now consider the price of the fucking car and the amount of power it would need.
Wealthy Pepsi that's bullshit unless it's 100 years from now
Forgive me, I thought you were talking about the price. But the car would have to output enough energy to counter the force of gravity and it has to move so it probably will use a lot more power than any electric car.
Power may or may not be an issue but you're saying that it would use the same amount of energy as an electric car, which is wrong.
I will say it again. The car would have to output enough energy to counter the force of gravity because it is levitating and it would have to move like a normal car. Go find a very heavy object and see how long you can hold it in place before you get tired.
How do you put snow chains on it?

How much magnetic crap is going the get stuck under the fender ??
Probably none, while magnetism attracts, it also repels. In this case, everything magnetic is being repelled from the wheel well.
Don't know about that. Try repelling a nail. Iron doesn't repel.
What do you mean Iron doesn't repel?
not true
If you have a magnet in the car making it positive. Then the outside of the ball also being positive, it'll repel. That's nothing new and shouldn't surprise anyone.
What I'm most interested in is how braking is going to work with these. How strong does the magnet have to be to stop the vehicle and how much can it be before it lifts the car too high. Don't even worry about these.
They're just an idea, nothing like this is actually functional.
3:12 "Why a sphere?" Because I watched I Robot.
yeah right. As if a wheel can rotate in all directions.
THEY MUST MAKE THIS! THIS IS AWESOME!
