I remember undergoing like 20 minutes of forced education in the principles of "Ze Byton Life" in order to ride in one of their prototypes at CES a while back, and I remember nothing about it except for how funny German automotive marketing arrogance with Chinese characteristics was
Yall remember Byton? There are two prototypes concepts in the bay area kind of rotting in the sun
