BMW imagines a future where transport is wearable and strange

BMW asked a group of automotive design students in Barcelona to imagine some concepts for 'Suits That Transport,' or wearable alternatives to cars. This is the kind of thing they managed to come with.


This first concept is sort of a futuristic roller blading outfit; the boots have an array of ball-bearings in the soles, while the face shield is actually a semi-transparent wraparound display that provides real time directions, traffic information and any number of other interesting distractions that seem likely to cause an accident. And unless there are some hidden airbags sewn into the seams or something, an accident in this thing would probably turn you into ground beef.
