Finding a parking space may soon become much easier thanks to this robot car that was unveiled by a japanese firm,Four Link Systems,which can fold itself up and squeeze into small spaces.

This new electric car,a shapeshifiting Transformers-inspired robot has two large fins at the back with brake lights and a huge opening cockpit for the driver to step into.

It looks like any other futuristic electric car and drives like a regular car with steering wheel and pedals.

That is until you transform the car into the robot just like Optimus Prime or Bumblebee from the Transformers franchise,using the company's clever motor system.

The next step for Four Link Systems is to get permission to trial on public roads ahead of actual sales. Their first challenge was to build a car that can beat a Toyota.But since there was no way to compete with the auto giant on performance, cost or brand power,they focused on design and came up with the idea of a robotlike vehicle. .

And despite costing as much as a high-end Lexus at £52,000(about $70,000), the company has already accepted 30 orders from clients from Japan, China and Dubai,where It would be used at airports and tourist locations.It is expected to be on the road by March 2018.

This car will be ideal for folks who like their personal space. The idea is good but i would not buy it. It would make me feel claustrophobic.

GOVERNOR AKINWUNMI AMBODE. SAVE OUR SOUL !!!
OJO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA DESERVES A BEFITTING GENERAL HOSPITAL NOW!!!
Of all the Indigenous Local Government Areas of Lagos State, Ojo Local Government Area remains the ONLY Local Government Area WITHOUT a General Hospital.
Haaba!!!
Our people go as far BADAGRY, Awori Ajeromi, Igando, Ikeja, e.t.c before they can get adequate and qualitative medical attentions.
What we have are just "clinics" terned "Health Centers".
On behalf of ALL the GOOD, AMIABLE, PATRIOTIC, and LAW ABIDING citizens of OJO Local Government; I hereby call on our Responsible and Active Governor and his Hard working Deputy, to please for GOD sake, come to our aid and resurrect the abandoned General Hospital Project sited at OLUGBEMI ESTATE, by Agric Bus-stop, Ojo town.
This project has been abandoned since after the administration of PA Lateef Jakande.
To All Omo Olojo Alaworos and concerned citizens of Ojo Local Government Area.
Please, rebroadcast his message until it gets to the appropriate quarters and Justice is done.

If you use 'G-board', it gets used to your words and suggests them when you type.

Them try. If only Nigeria was applying advanced knowledge, this would have been called garbage; How can you build a transformer or fold-able car and still need a full car length to exit the vehicle, in this case side doors would be perfect, a dedicated and knowledgeable African would have corrected that mistake.
