Future Taxi

This rather wildly designed concept car is called the “Swing Beginner” – it’s what’s the start of what’s probably going to be a spectaculalrly fabulous line of Swing cars, this one acting as sort of training wheels for the whole line. It’s designed by Yanchao Wang to act as a solution for the future world of infinite population and zero room for gigantic cars and trucks. Welcome to the future of simply “inside and outside” – Wang’s way of saying we can no longer afford to drive in a car with any more room inside and out than we need.Bare essentials can be design-elegant, aesthetically sassy, perfectly to the point. 
This vehicle is made to transform, though, as the potential 3-seat configuration can change to a 1-seat+storage just as fast, and the trunk is set on extend or shrink mode. Whatever size you need.The entire Swing system is set on the idea that you’re basically in a fish tank. When you push your body to the right, the vehicle moves right. Forward and you move forward. It’s the same in that if a big fish throws itself toward the side of the tank, the water inside the tank moves too, and if you’ve ever seen a cartoon fishy in your life, you know that fishbowl’s going off the counter soon!Forward, backward, turnaround, all is possible due to the no-rotation-radius wheels and gigantic window section. Getting in and out’s all in the front. Riding around is smooth. You can wear part of the car around as a backpack. What more could you possibly want out of a cutie pie vehicle like this? And it’s only the beginning!

iris The autonomous Transport


Automation is a wonderful thing, and if you want more transport options to be automated too, check out the Iris Autonomous Transport, which is like a robot cabbie that you're able to flag via a text message, and give your destination via the same method. This vehicle will obviously be using ...

A subverter four-wheel soil buggy matured by the Blind Driver Challenge aggroup from Colony Tech’s Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory was the prototypal drivable container for the blind. With the neutral to accommodate the development in profession and mechanisation in transport, specializer Eric Leong has fashioned a futuristic robotic automobile for the blindfold – he calls it the IRIS. The free instrumentation container is a bonny spreading of anything semiautomatic ever made, presented the fact that the IRIS takes book messages as instruction input, and then using the GPS and another much futuristic technologies guides the lazy bumps and the visually challenged around the municipality and elsewhere. Designed with blindfold in mind, the IRIS could also be a automobile for the low-income demographic.

2 Bikes Become 1 Car

This is the real deal in modern wild design. This is the “Plug-In” affordable youth mobility project by Ramesh Gound. According to Gound, there is a big “buy 1 get 1 free” shopping attitude in the market around the Ahmedabad area of India. This simple concept gave Gound the idea to take two motorcycles and attach them in the middle. Each motorcycle is owned by its respective party, a young person with a big appetite for sports vehicles but a small pocketbook, then they attach. Once two motos attach in the middle, they become that fantastic sports car from heaven.Two drive-by-wire bikes are owned by separate people. They wanna attach them for a longer drive or some sort of trip that’s not great for motorcycle, or hey, if they just wanna cruuuze… they attach in the center of the two.The hood is made of D3O, which when the bikes are not attached, stows away in the bike configuration. This whole concept is aimed to take on congested cities such as Mumbai.NOTE: some info from Gound — This project is my final year Diploma project at National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad India sponsored by Renault Design India.


Inspired by India's "buy one get one free" mentality, designer Ramesh Gound has created a concept where two motorbike owners can join them together, creating a fancy sports car for longer drives.Gound's idea has sprung from his diploma project at the National Institute of Design, and was actually sponsored by Renault Design. While the car manufacturer doesn't actually make motorbikes, perhaps they'll offer Gound a job when he leaves school—I'd love to see these dual motorbikes/car hybrids on the road.
As per Some Research work On it i found....
improbable, bulbous form? Check
Hollow wheels? Check.
No attention to human factors? Check.
All form, no specs? Check.
Absolutely unfeasible to build? Check.
Fanciful-but-pointless gimmick? Check.
All rendering, no process? Check.
