This year, for the first time ever, Mercedes-Benz designers participated at the Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge, and the results were pretty crazy. The company fielded three different concepts, including a two-wheeled electric Maybach and a carbon fiber Smart car literally knit together by high tech robots.
But Mercedes’ most unique contribution was the Biome concept: a vehicle that’s grown from seeds. The seeds are genetically engineered so that they can be tailored to each customers individual preferences, and are nurtured at Mercedes run nurseries until they become fully grown vehicles. You can check out a gallery of some of these futuristic designs, from Mercedes and others, over at Wired’s Autopia blog.
