I live in a wheelchair. I want one of these for rain & snow days.

Sure, they’d be ultra convenient for pedestrians but for those of us who cannot walk at all they’d allow us to get from place to place on our own for a change.

[...] Metro Cell Vehicle Concept. Single person semi-private vehicle system called PDD (pickup-drive-drop) will be implemented. With the PDD system, a driver finds a “cellular-mobile stack”, engages a car and uses it within that limited area. Once the commute is done, they simply disembark and the pod goes back to the nearest mobile stack. So very, very cool. [...]

Nice concept. Although not fond of the limited cargo space (users lap). Perhaps incorporate the batteries into the body/wheel wells/wheels. Since that space below the seat is prime real estate for cargo hold.

Also would recommend modifiying the back of the car to have a more sturdy docking mechanism then the rendered one. Like expand the silver/grey portion built into the car out to look like a handle coming out. So that a more sturdy clamping mechanism could be employed into the lift arm.

BTW the render of the side profile of the poor posture standing passenger is nice humorous touch

Wow. Interesting concept and a nice design. @Lamah, it sounds like it’s all automatic and the occupant is really a passenger so I wonder if restraints would even be needed.
Nice work.

It looks really cool, especially the elevated rail system.

Given the stated top speed of 45 mph, it’d have been nice to see some details of the passenger restraint system.
