Not ground-breaking work, but.....

I'm glad that there are people out there prepared to think for longer than 2 seconds about what the future of private transport may look like and serve as. Because, judging from the pathetic comments from the utter cretins above, we would still be sitting in nothing more advanced than a 1900 Daimler. Clueless luddites. The world turns round the sun you know. It's not flat either. And there are no witches beyond Hereford too.

When you've stopped picking at the scabs of your knuckles from where they've been scraping the ground, just try and think for a moment. Consider the stress and risk placed on you and other people when you mindlessly travel from point to point, demonstrating to the world your substandard abilities behind the wheel. Try and think about the fact that driving for pleasure went sailing out the window in most countries many years ago. Consider that all those hours you waste being bored, annoyed and embarrassed could be spent doing something productive in work, family or social perspectives. Now you may begin to understand that vehicles in the future will change. Not necessarily into this Utopian greyboxmobile (emotive needs of owners will be pandered to, which sadly means we will be suffering the delicate egos of BMW owners for some time to come for example), but as a carriage to take you to another place in safety while allowing you to get on with other tasks at the same time.

So before you embark yet again with your parrot squawkings on software/crashes/fugly/ (what is this abomination of the language? Grow up for heaven's sake!) I-have-no-brain-and-so-will-compare-to-my-1997-Mondeo, do try to understand the wider context of personal transport. Or better still, have a go at creating a vision yourself with the crayons your mummy gave you yesterday.

Rant over? I haven't even started sunshine.

Sounds like a stupid idea.

Also looks like a cross between a transparent caravan and a bath.

RE:We hope you enjoyed the ride!

I agree with Chris 219. It looks just like the JohnnyCab from Total Recall. It will never be built. I'm hoping that by 2040 we'll all be teleporting wherever we want to go like in Niven's Known Space stories. Otherwise, we won't have to worry about seatbelts, aerodynamics, or any of that rubbish because the roads will all be in a state of perpetual gridlock and nothing will be able to go more than 2-3 mph, if you're lucky. So you better well have a living room on wheels, with a bathroom, beer fridge, and other nourishment, because by the time your morning commute is over, it'll be time to start back home again.
