What if the car you're pumping to the limits changes its shape before a collision? Nothing can be better then this; and no, we're not building castles in the sky, rather German scientists have already hit the accelerator with their latest innovative technology that anticipates any collision and allows the car to change its shape.

Equipped with cameras and radar, the car senses the impact and changes its shape with the help of shape-shifting metal in the door. Designed to absorb mainly the side impacts, which too sometimes are fatal, the material in fact distributes the force at the right time with the help of the so-called the impact-sensing system.
