Sometimes an idea looks great on paper but doesn't quite translate as well in the real world. The vehicles we see on the roads, on the rails, and in the sky today were developed and refined over many years, but not every vehicle design makes it all the way through that process. We've lost out on some unique and promising vehicles because of failed prototypes and production problems, and today's video contains some of the weirdest and most wonderful of them all. Consider this a collection of technological near misses!
