pervious concrete

Its call pervious, or permeable concrete. This is from a demonstration video. The stuff is incredible. It wont hold water, so even if you did a whole mall parking lot out of it. There would be no ponding, no streams running everywhere, with no water on the surface theres no ice either.

So the water doesn't sit on the concrete... But where does it go then?

If it runs under the concrete into the dirt it will end up washing it away, creating sink holes and destroying the concrete/people no?

No, they use one of two methods to prevent this. They either use semi-solid substrate with perforated drainage tubes (I'd assume this would be for larger expanses like parking lots or an elevated roadway). Or they use packed gravel substrate that allows the water to percolate naturally back into the ground, which is almost no different than what happens on normal ground.
