Andrei França wanted to design a vehicles as an extension of the human body. He wanted to convert the knowledge of the psychology and the development of the human psychomotor system into a unique vehicle that offers a seamless driving experience. The result is the Noah, a finalist in IdeaBrasil 2008.
Noah uses the movements of the driver to control acceleration and directions, without buttons or pedals. The innovative design utilizes biomechanics to offer a new driving experience that targets the young and adventurous.
