The entrants for this year's L.A. Auto Show Design Challenge have been revealed, with Mercedes premiering a concept they're calling the SilverFlow. Under the theme of Robocar 2057, Mercedes's designers envisioned a car capable of transforming its shape by use of micro-metallic particles, magnetic fields, and a predefined assembly program; thus allowing the SilverFlow to adapt to its required purpose or, in the event of an accident, repair itself.

As for the SilverFlow's inspiration, designers based the concept's design on the Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix cars of the golden era, utilizing a low-slung shape; tall, thin wheels; and a dramatic open-wheel design.
