Futuristic Omnidirectional Wheels Let You Drive Your Car Sideways

Manchester road artist 'Wanksy' draws penises around potholes, forcing the city to fix them
If you've been on any road ever in the United Kingdom, chances are you know about potholes. Turns out one anonymous resident has taken matters into his own hand, calling himself 'Wanksy' and drawing penises around them that the city's council cannot ignore.
'See-Through' Cars Might One Day Change The Way We Drive Forever
Being human, we find it difficult to accept defeat. We all like to think we're good drivers, a Lewis Hamilton incarnate of the school run if you will.

A life in which we picture groups of creative-types huddled around a vast, bleach-white meeting room table darting ideas off each other, reminding every other person that thinking ‘outside the box’ is key to success.
