Nobody likes to turn down a friend in need of a ride (ha…sometimes). The Metro Cell Vehicle concept won’t leave you feeling bad. There is literally [only room for one person](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yksi-electric-vehicle).

The Metro Cell Vehicle is intended for the Metro Los Angeles area as a [human delivery system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system) (sounds weird, makes sense). You simply call for a pod and then it’s yours for an extended amount of time in a [particular area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-cybercab). Once you’re finished the Metro Cell Vehicle will return to a special hub.

Sounds pretty convenient.
