I'll bet they are for side view mirrors -- they would then swing when you steered; which would be different. They do look slightly angled like a mirror would need to be. Also, they would have to be rigid with very little vibration.
So, another question I have is -- *how* do the front wheels steer? I.E. if the front strut is forming a bumper, then it would have to telescope a wedge-shaped section, allowing the pod to pivot, but not have a gap?
