Humans just don’t have the concentration powers to handle a 125mph Ferraris. Atleast according to Ferrari’s independent designer Iman Maghsoudi. So Ferrari’s solution is to turn over the running of the car to on-board computers. And the concept that they have chosen to put this into practice is the Monza. Make no mistake, the Monza is part car, part bike, part aircraft.

The “pilot” even sits in a cockpit similar to straddling a motorcycle and has full control at low speeds. But once the speed picks up, the car’s computer takes over, changes the vehicle’s aerodynamic profile, using the winglets called canards up front to create lift and reduce friction. The canards adjust their position automatically with increased airflow and stop unexpected headwinds from sending the Monza “taking off” in the wind.

When developed, it will be incredibly expensive but it will come with the prancing horse on its side. Unfortunately, it’s still just a concept and not up for testing.
