Good way to turn a minor front end collision into a $30,000+ repair billl…
Hahahaha
Lol I was thinking of the same thing
Exactly
Exactly my thought!
Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as incomes in investments even in this crazy days in the market, any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earning? I would appreciate
Ah the urban car we‘ve all been waiting for. 5 meters something of roadspace for four people. Seems like the perfect solution for overcrowded metropolitan areas.
Why is everyone skipping over the fact that his is just a mini van? You can call it a rectal probing sphere or what ever you want but it’s still a mini van.
„Mini“
@@marcusburger1523 yeah, it's a van. Nout mini about that.
LMAOOOO
Nothing wrong with that 🤷🏾♂️
Audi: Led Grilles!
UK Govt: Ima have to stop you right there chief.
imagine a Nissan Micra crashing into you at the supermarket :))))
😂😂😂😂
Imagine accidentally hitting a pole, instead of a $100 fix you’ll have to replace the whole front
if you live in LA, you don't have to hit a pole accidentally, someone else will hit it for you. front and rear. yup
@@Thatit777 glad in the netherlands we have insurance for both parties😅
if its autonomous.....should it be hitting poles?
@@gee177 seeing how many teslas crash into random stuff the sensors don’t pick up. Yes
Great in theory but in practice it feels a step too far. The real issue I see is whether the technology is reliable. Even if some of these features filter down into production they will just be gimmicks that are expensive to repair when they go wrong. Would rather manufacturers focus on battery tech so that they charge faster and go further.
People who work on design and the people who work on battery tech are not the same therefore both aspects can be developed at the same time. In fact, those two groups of people may not even work for the same company so prioritising research is a non-issue.
With the exception of the autonomous driving, much of the tech in the car already exists outside of the car world. The reason it takes so long to get to cars is because of reliability so while you are indeed right to be concerned about that aspect, the reliability issues may not be as bad you think. Consider touchscreens. We've had touchscreens for a long time but they have only been employed in cars in the last few years because only now are they reliable enough.
A lot of this is a step too far, as you've said. How much of it winds up in production remains to be seen...
It's an interesting look into what the future might contain
Everything in a modern car is expensive to fix if it goes wrong and not under a guarantee / warranty. I wouldn’t worry about new electrics ones, you’ll still have an empty wallet whichever way you choose to go. 🤷🏼
It’s fugly.
As a paid mechanic, I'm guessing those LEDs won't be able to be changed and removed individually?
Also no way it's going to pass any safety standards with 2 doors like that
Finally! The ability to tell the other drivers what you think of their driving has become reality. :D
Unfortunately it's an Audi so it'll be you that need telling how bad your driving is.
That's it... I'm getting teeth braces with LEDs in them.
Audi innovates with lights
People : so Audi is a LED manufacturer now?
Very cool!! It should be made as is or better. I would take it as is. Personal oasis sounds amazing! Especially when traveling 3 or more hours or if you are stuck in traffic for hours! Make it now!!!
Visually, it looks very charming and perfect. Is it practical? NO!
Wow!! Absolutely Stunning
The drinks dispenser is cool, I'd have one of them if they can make it work in a safe way for the driver. Be better than having bottles/cans to open while on long journeys.
well..it does cause a new problem though, .... which drink shall we put into the dispenser??
As if cracking your phone screen wasn't enough 😭
I think it looks great,nice to see that the car designers can show what they can really do.
Hmmm, i remember we used to have something like these back in the day...they were called "minivans" and everyone hated them.
As a designer myself, this is awesome and it goes to show the potential limits we can reach. It is wild.
My only concern is the battery capacity that will be needed to power all of the LED’s as well as the internals, it is quite over the top!
Let’s see what happens from here.
i got to appreciate Rory autotrader videos more, not constantly and annoying shilling all sorts of links and websites like the funny guy from carwow end up doing
👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼notify for your new investment opportunity and guidiance.
I’d say silly but tbh these concepts are great and they can really get an idea of what’s possible and what people like from them. Pretty neat
Dead cool, thanks for sharing x
I feel like all these Audi concepts took major inspiration from Kia's K8 sedan (almost Korean-exclusive luxury car). Not a bad thing because I love those design elements. Still can't help but notice the diamond grille patterns, the light shape, the way the indicators are part of the grille and all those details.
It doesn't look like the Kia K8's grille is functional though, and diamond shaped grille's are nothing new. The shape is completely different as well. Either way, both companies have their own identity.
@@Alby911 Yeah but the implementation is very similar even if the shape is different. Like the way it works with the headlights. Not that they copied but idk I just can't help but see the K8 in it. But yeah they do have their own identities, that's true.
I think Kia and Audi are sharing a designer or maybe the designer from Audi went to Kia. It’s something like that if I’m not mistaken. I remember reading something similar to that a few years ago
@@lukamih Yes I remember that too. However, funnily enough, the K8 isn't designed by the usual Kia designer. The team's led by 2 Korean people. Idk why lol, I guess because it's not coming to US or UK, they designed it for a different audience.
@@lukamih I'm not sure who the head of design is, but Kia poached Peter Schreyer and Albert Biermann. Both worked for BMW as engineers and their philosophy was that the car needs to perform how it looks.
Audi is my favorite vehicle manufacturer and these concepts are part of the reason

"What do you drive?'"
"A Wurlitzer!"
One question - how can it charge itself, does it have little hands?
👐
don't be silly...............................the magic fairies will do it
@@colmcoakley3916 I suppose if you have the kind of money to buy one of those, magic fairies aren’t out of the realms of possibility!
@@lil-g4879 I find that the magic fairies show up after the 5th can of cider.
@@colmcoakley3916 Roughly the same for me, unless it's scrumpy, then it's after the 2nd.
Audi seem tp be doing braver concepts than most so will be good to see what makes it to market. The 2 sports concepts are stunning, take my money you have me by the spheres
I like it, however from a practical standpoint. accidents and other drivers hitting the front end, causing damage to the screen and electronics would cost an arm and leg to replace. Insurance would probably increase on that vehicle if they ever build it
Exactly
Just what I need for my weekly trip to Lidl
Thanks Audi
Will this be legal in the UK. We don't even have illuminated badges here. Umm.
Absolutely Wonderful
MIND BLOWING😨😲
People say BMW gone too far with the glowing grills but this is on another level. This is too much. Just for show
It’s obviously goes for the Chinese market
We all know what people will be using those exterior screens for - sending other drivers your hearts and thumbs up! XD
Message other drivers that cut you off - 'Fark You'
All great but Audi please make it proper 7 seater with sliding doors for Europe in shorter version - 5,2 m max:) This would also do in USA - similar size to their minivans as Odyssey, Sienna, Carnival, Pacifica.
That bumper is crazy to fix
Front end reminds me of the Lights Alive toy back in the day
Was going to say, its very compelling tech and looks but will it be allowed here in North America? Probably not, or at best a watered down version of this.
If its one thing I love audi for is they push boundaries. I just love audi and BMW
If they can do that why not make the LEDS do something really cool like change the look of the nose of the car for example with or without grille, scoops or no scoops or you cound design your own in a graphics progran and plug it into the car...we do graphics work on LED computer screens all the time!
Dope hoddies mate
Could you imagine getting in a bumper collision? How much is that front screen?
Audi and their lights 🙄😅
Really cool
I still don't get why they go crazy with all the lights when they need to be saving energy to increase range... all those LEDs in the front and rear bumper and all the ambient light lining the interior. And I know it is a concept car but there are some/many production EVs that have more lighting than they need IMO.
From the side it looks like a squashed Renault espace
Waiting for your eqs suv review🧐
This isn't needed. Audi is underestimating how much people actually like their signature styled grills.
So many think that it is just showing off and they can envisage repair bills from the main dealer that are crazy.. to me what’s changed ADs always have notoriously high bills. The concept is a brilliant bit of kit with the only mistake is that they have not Put it into production and taking orders now…
I wonder how would one refill the water dispenser
Cool, for sure
Wow, let's mount a screen TO THE OUTSIDE of the car... I'm sure that will make this more affordable for everyone...
It is clear we are having a better future for our vehicles.
Speaks so smooth feels like he’s rapping
It seems like Audi made an SUV version of the Lucid Air with way more lights and gizmos.
What about reviewing the mg marvel r or zs
Audi is the best, this is amazing
Grill may as well be a tv, that would be great when you go camping
I would say definitely cool
Incredible looking car, but damage to the grill will cost 10's of thousands to repair if you have an accident.
Cool. I like it.
To all those jumping on to comment on how ridiculous or how disgusting or how expensive it would be to replace 🙄.....its a concept car. Its an engineers dream to design the future of cars even if they never go into production. 99% of concepts in their full realisation actually go into production. Yes, elements may end up but something like this is purely an ego challenge for engineers.
Then Audis engineers need to be reminder they are automotive engineers, not consumer electronics engineers.
Is it gonna come out or no? I hope they don’t waste our time again
Imagine the cost to fix a stone chip or a blown pixel. Love the design language
Good gawd almighty...I gotta hurry up & get my credit straight...lol 👍🏾❗️
These tech features might not be reliable considering how much complication is put into them, if anything breaks or goes wrong which is highly possible, repairing them would be a nightmare 👌🏼
This is cool!
If you Audi are gonna make a minivan just do it with proper sliding door and make it clever and light kinda Koenigsegg Agera style.
What would it cost to park the grill against a little post
Obviously the most useful function of the screen-grill is displaying mirror-image text (thus readable in rear view mirrors). Messages such as, "Hey asshole, get out the fast lane!", and, "Use your blinker, asshole!", would be a much safer and much more effective means of initiating road rage incidents of the future. Currently, such incidents require a lot of tedious manual labor to achieve similar results, and frankly I think it's past time we modernized this aspect of the driving experience.
Do autonomous vehicles know how to deal with stressful situations? A hijacking as an example. And if hijacked, will it autonomously find its way home?
Can you please drive the Lexus LFA one of the most legendary cars with one of the best sounding engines in the world and a lot big popular car enthusiast saying that it’s the best car they ever driven i wanna see you drive one so badly
So Audi is making minivans now??
The future is looking very bright for Audi 🤣🤣🤣🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Loving the side profile of this huge vehicle. As far as the rest is concerned, it is just silly!
Audi need to include as much as possible. If they have the Chinese Market in mind. As there are already some seriously cool over-the-top luxury EV's available in 2022 in China.
Cool. Damn cool.
i think it looks ugly but if you think about it it would actually improve safety since it catches attention which would make the car more visible to other drivers
That's a stretch. You can just as easily say it is a distraction on the road for other drivers and pedestrians.
I hate when carmakers release concept cars like these. They are there just to tease us, and then the carmakers immediately forget to put them into production.
they can play pong, just wtf!!!🤣🤣
Yera my mother's Starlet has alot the same tech
It looks so insane🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sleek lines. Narrow head and tail lights. Like every other concept car 😂😂😂
nice hoodie
And I bet it’ll cost an absolute fortune for any damaged grille. Not to mention the purchase price.
Exselent
So, a Mini Van?
It looks good and promises to cost a fortune in the event of an accident since the whole grill is a display, it's good but somehow stupid, they better release that tech when all cars are safe to drive themselves and are able to discern an accident.
Yup. This is the future. Soon, it will be animated graphics all over the car. LOOK AT ME!!! X10 now that every car is going to be a battery powered skateboard with a lift kit and no engine sound to scream look at me, we have to do it with graphics.
Epic.
Audi gonna need more of those grilles than the cars
AWESOME!!!!! I want one just like that!!!!!
Yeah cool, but that’s way too much light on one car dang it.
Audi innovation is the best in the world. However this is a concept people - they just show what could be and perhaps something small out of all this will be takes and used in future cars..
Beyond cool
👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼notify for your new investment opportunity and guidiance.
Cool!
Cool ☝🏾
And how much is that gonna cost to replace...😥
0:26 Hyundai Santa Fe with fancy LEDs
I doubt that grill would be even legal in a lot of countries
Battle of the grills! *Awaiting Lexus's Response*
Lol. Not a fan of Audi's but I actually like most of Lexus' (and BMW's, because I know someone's gonna bring it up) grilles.
