Designed by Dahye Jeong, the vehicle features a lounge-like interior that enables passengers to spread out and enjoy the view as they travel between locations. The roof section of the vehicle has been paired with a [see-through dome](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-vehicle) to put a focus on the exterior view and put passengers at ease as they read, watch content or even nap.
