For some reason, companies at MWC like to have cars in their booths.

Sometimes this makes sense.

Xiaomi actually sells cars.

Tech Mahindra makes cars too, although the ones they sell do not look like this.

Qualcomm sells chips for cars.

So does Mediatek.

Windriver (WNDRVR?) sells software for cars

Huawei sells software for cars too.

But why does Oracle have an F1 car in its booth?

And then there are the mobile operators. Vodafone had a race car in its booth.

But SK Telecom had this in their booth.

And Etisalat had a one-man version.
