    Yeah, the other week social media was full of people mentioning how bad it’s for their brand. (I didn’t read one positive thing)

    But I guess they are doing what’s necessary. ICEs are on long-term decline, car companies are now officially struggling since last week. (VW, BMW, …) It’s not that electric cars are doing too well either at the moment but especially if such a luxury company wants to make it into the next 10-20 years, they need something. I guess the customers they are targeting are mega hedonists that don’t want to be judged for bad ethical choices (even if there’s some wiggleroom). Probably it hits the Zeitgeist, reminds me a little of the Paris Olympic game show

    Granted, this is a concept car and the real car for the market is likely a little less pronounced (probably including a speedometer :D)
