Folding cars could solve city congestion

Daniel Bailey is just 22-years old, but his innovative new car design has grabbed attention world wide. It's not just the Lamborghini-inspired styling that's of interest either, as the BRB Evolution can automatically halve its footprint to fit into a much smaller parking space.

As any London citizen will attest to, parking in major cities is becoming more and more of an issue and it'll take more drastic measures than the Congestion Charge to ease the problem. Bailey's radical new idea is to create cars that fold up out of the way.

The sporty two-seater's occupants must first of all identify a suitable space, then leave the car and press a button on the key fob. Automatically, the car 'folds' in a Transformers-like motion to halve the area of the parking space necessary before sliding the car into place.

Although the concept bears the Peugeot logo, Bailey is not yet employed as a car designer, though with such inventive thinking, it shouldn't be too long before he is snapped up.
