The aim of Gutsalenko's design is to help solve the issue of [overcrowded parking spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kg-motors). The [concept car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-xcompact) comes with the standard safety features such as seatbelts and airbags, but also comes equipped with more [advanced safety features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lepas) installed in the front and back of the vehicle. "These elements provide additional maneuverability by turning around," Tuvie says. "They also are very strong in if a crash occurs as they take the damage on itself and thus saving the booth. The deformation of the Booth is prevented by a frame ring. In the interior, a display is installed thus creating a panoramic view. The Airbags installed in wheel of the car will operate at the side. With an approach sensor it turns on the auto brake system. The car creates the sensation of reliability as its image is associated with specialized machines, all we can say is welcome to the future.” At this point, I believe the Solid is only a concept vehicle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Safety Features:** The Solid car showcases advanced safety features installed in the front and back of the vehicle, providing additional maneuverability and superior crash resistance. - **Compact Parking Solutions:** Designed to address the issue of overcrowded parking spaces, the Solid car offers a compact size and innovative turning capabilities to optimize parking efficiency. - **Enhanced Driving Experience:** With a panoramic view display and approach sensor-based auto brake system, the Solid car enhances the overall driving experience by prioritizing safety and convenience. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore integrating smart safety features showcased by the Solid car to enhance vehicle safety standards and driver experience. - **Urban Planning:** The concept of compact parking solutions introduced by the Solid car provides opportunities for urban planners to design efficient parking infrastructures in densely populated areas. - **Technology:** The Solid car's innovative safety technologies open up avenues for technology companies to develop advanced safety systems and sensors for the automotive industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Outdoor-Focused Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manifesto-concept-car.md) - [American Safety-Focused Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glickenhaus-004-supercar.md) - [Child-Centric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childcentric-compact-luxury-suv.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Fully Autonomous Crossover SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dkm-20.md) - [Next-Gen Boxy Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxy-vehicle.md) - [Privacy-Focused Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-car-concept.md)
