Sure but did u click thru? The car designs are much more questionable

Sure. But like take all of it together. Event was called “We, Robot”. Possibly influenced by the movie “I, Robot”? Maybe. Next the humanoid robot with white features. Ok fine. Humanoid shapes are humanoid! Not so controversial. Then the car. Gull wing doors! Inb4 delorean and lamborghini. Ok fine. But the capped wheels!? Ok fine its a car they look like cars. Finally the bus looking thing?? Thats weird, looks a lot like the I, Robot bus thing. Take all this together? HMMMMMMM
