The active panels were probably added by the designer in order to orient the panels when stopped and charging. They probably added the air brake idea on to take advantage of the steerable panels.

Great work for a student BTW! This image is no doubt just a rendering. I generally dislike real concept cars because they cost ridiculous amounts of money to build and are pretty much useless. The employees involved have to be paid so all that money translates into increased prices for all the production cars we actually buy. Seldom do we get a concept-to-production that resemble the same vehicle. The best thing this concept car has going for it is that it was designed by a student and not an actual employee.
