A private ride-sharing concept has been launched by multidisciplinary studio Seymourpowell and the innovative design boasts a number of features to keep people comfortable in public transportation spaces by allowing them to maintain distance if they wish.
'Quarter Car' is a driverless vehicle and Seymourpowell equips the vehicle with retractable partitions and air-purifying technology. As a result, the interior can be split into a total of "four individual and sellable spaces."
In order to optimize space, the private ride-sharing concepts have a cubic exterior shape. They are expected to "improve business metrics and passenger experience in one hit." Seymourpowell hopes that the 'Quarter Car' will be adopted as "an on-demand recreational ride-hailing service" across a number of different sectors.
