The conceptual 'iCar' city car has been designed by Ashish Gogte as a rendering of what we could come to expect if or when technology brand Apple develops a vehicle for modern drivers. The vehicle boasts a modular drive system that would keep the battery integrated into it to allow for an enhanced sense of interchangeability when components need to be swapped. The vehicle maintains an ultra-low clearance that would be best suited for city streets where it would be able to glide gracefully over concrete or asphalt.
The conceptual 'iCar' city car is also focused on being easily upgraded to suit the power or cosmetic preferences of the driver, which would also enable better scalability.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Modular Vehicles
- The trend of modular drive systems in vehicles allows for more interchangeable components and upgrades
- Smart City Cars
- The development of ultra-low clearance vehicles like the 'iCar' are perfect for navigating heavily congested areas
- Driver-focused Design
- The focus on easily upgradable vehicles shows a trend towards customizable and personalized driving experiences
Sectors Adopting This
- Automotive
- The automotive industry can capitalize on the trend of modular drive systems and driver-focused design to create more customizable vehicles
- Smart City
- Developers of smart city infrastructure can work with the trend of smart city cars to optimize transportation within urban areas
- Technology
- Technology companies like Apple can explore disruptive innovation opportunities in the automotive industry by developing their own smart city vehicle solutions
