I originally thought that was intended to be a concept replacement for commercial big rigs, which it is literally incapable of doing.
Upon reading that it's merely a one-off "road show" for emerging tech, I upgrade my opinion from "it's a joke" to "meh".

Beautiful but completely out of touch with the reality of trucking.
A hundred foot long piece of garage sculpture.

In short, the truck is rigged with an array of advanced systems that can take much of the guesswork out of navigating the streets and highways safely and efficiently.

As usual, Colani forgets about low speed aerodynamics and practical use.
