Global design consultancy IDEO has created a concept for a four-pod self-driving car that could be shared by everyone in the neighbourhood.
The concept was created as part of the consultancy’s The Future of Moving Together research, which imagines what the future of commuting might hold. A video by IDEO shows a self-driving car that could be hailed – like an Uber – by passengers on their way to work.
A screen on the front of the vehicle greets riders, and lets them know their seat is ready. Doors slide out to reveal four individual aeroplane-style seats, one of which would swivel round to welcome the passenger.
A personal screen allows the rider to make video calls, shows a countdown to arrival, and even gives some recommendations for meditative breathing.
