Y Job also makes full use of modern technology, with electronically controlled folding tops and windows. It is also the first car to remove the pedals, in addition to other innovative details, such as flat door handles and horizontal tank shields. Earl's design goes far beyond his years. This groundbreaking, groundbreaking design approach immediately became a target for other manufacturers to imitate. From now on, the automobile industry also shows the future with the concept of a concept car. After Buick, the designers who emerged in the history of automotive design have designed a variety of models that people have talked about so far. The concept car is like a colorful fashion show on the T-stage, which is dazzling, but not necessarily popular in real life; but it reflects the inspiration and style of car designers, the concept car is not even subject to the conditions of the production car, can be arbitrary Use new processes, new materials and new designs that have not been fully verified to give full play to imagination and creativity.
