At higher speeds the pod lowers on the hinged rear suspension, moving the car’s center of gravity closer to the road for safer handling and improved aerodynamics. The steering wheel connects with “drive- bywire” technology to motors that operate the steering mechanism and it holds controls that manage other functions. Z car
