Mar. 11, 2008: Are you ready for the foldable car?
I remember when I was in junior high, my friend Kristy did a speech about a bike you could fold up and put in your pocket. While I'm not sure that's been invented yet, I am intrigued by the idea of a foldable car.
Researchers at M.I.T. say they've created a prototype of a tiny car that folds up to around half its size when you park. They say it's just the thing to deal with urban gridlock, and will definitely help with parallel parking.
