  • Chinese electric-car maker BYD posted a video of its upcoming Yangwang U9 supercar. 
  • The luxury vehicle will be able to bounce and jump off the ground.
  • BYD showed off the U9's "body control system."

Cars that just move forward and backward are so yesterday. Super-powered electric vehicles that can bounce side to side and up and down? Now that's the future. 

Chinese Tesla rival BYD showed the world just that on Monday. 

In a video from a BYD event posted to Twitter, its upcoming Yangwang U9 can be seen dancing and bobbing side to side as it slowly drives across the stage. At the culmination of the routine, the car squats down low and bursts upward, hopping what looks like an inch or two off the ground.
