VW platform
Quote:
1) That basic body would be problematic though, as Buchheim et al. found out when they tried to do the same thing to create the VW 2000. 2) The severely-slanted windshield created intolerable forward vision light refraction. 3) Same at the rear. 4) From Elliott G. Reid's 1935 aero research at Stanford University, we can anticipate that the full-width rear track will cost them. Losing the plan-view taper down the flanks cost Reid 16% in added drag.

![]() Honda's Got a Whimsical Vision for the Self-Driving Future Honda's project stars seven whimsical vehicular prototypes, each the size of a remote-controlled car and photographed in vivid, diorama-like landscapes. Yeah, a motorhome that leans in the corners...that won't be intimidating on 101. ![]() ![]()

There's probably many corners like the illustration where oncomming tall traffic is going to rip the top off. I wonder how they compensate for that because I saw people doing really stupid motorhome stuff last time I was there towing my Casita.

![]() But good -- sarcasm is the hardest thing for the Facebooks of the world to cope with. Let's go brain-dumb. If two of those met at speed in a corner, they'd would not slip right past each other.
