Every Car is a Stoplight

Every Car is a Stoplight

The addition of brake lights to vehicles & stoplights to intersections are two major life-saving standards, but still some problems exist when drivers are following large buses or trucks that block traffic signals. This design, simply called the Signal License Plate, combines the functionality of both to give heightened awareness to drivers approaching from behind. As an additional layer of safety, the plates work in tandem with signals to not only display the current red/yellow/green light, but count down to give drivers preparedness for changing conditions.

Saved By the Net

Saved By the Net

Net Rescue Boat is a lifeboat dredge with a net. The purpose of this re-design stems from the difficulties rescuers face while on missions using a regular lifeboat. The net area makes it easier to bring people to safety and commence first aid. Yep, in playtime we can also think of many party uses for the net area … but that’s just a wicked side of us!

Wheel to the Rescue

Wheel to the Rescue

The RollEvac military vehicle concept uses biomimicry to aid in time-sensitive rescue and evacuation operations in combat situations. Inspired by the golden wheel spider, which curls its body into a wheel shape and rolls down sand dunes as a method of escape, the RollEvac maneuvers in an upright position, rolling over terrain with spring-loaded legs for traction. Inside, passengers are balanced and protected by the armored exterior while being transported to safety.

Home is where your car is.

Home is where your car is.

Like the impenetrable city with which it shares a name, the Troy concept utility vehicle is designed to protect its precious cargo over a variety of terrain types for amateur and professional expeditions alike. Designed for researchers but equally appealing for nature lovers, photographers, adventure-seekers and more, its cabin interior sleeps 4-5 persons with additional room for cargo and tools as well as creature comforts like a dining table, kitchenette, bathroom, and shower. Its rough on the outside but soft on the inside!

Border Defending Ground Drone

Border Defending Ground Drone

This unmanned rover concept uses an arsenal of hi-tech systems to provide supplemental support to border patrol operations. At the center of the design is a border-facing shield that protects its vital armament, including lasers, radar, and other detection devices as well as military-grade lethal and non-lethal deterrents. Controlled remotely or set to operate autonomously, it safeguards territorial boundaries from illegal immigration or even enemy invasion while keeping domestic agents and officers out of harms way.

Fire Away, Fire Away!

Fire Away, Fire Away!

This might just be the first car EVER designed from the ground up to be completely BULLETPROOF! Not just bulletproof though- according to designer Mike Enayah it could also brush off a few IEDs like they were flies. We’re talking tank tech here. You’d need it too with all those haters that be jelly! Aesthetically, its like a Maybach and a 1967 Shelby had a baby… er.. if they could have a baby. I want it just so I can blast David Guetta’s Titanium song and not even be kidding!

Simple Kid Lifesaver

Simple Kid Lifesaver

Whether by accident or oversight, numbers of children die from heatstroke after being left unattended in cars. It’s an unfortunate yet completely avoidable situation, especially with help from smart-devices. This simple solution is one way of ensuring children are never forgotten. The 3-piece design detects the presence of a child with an under-seat sensor. In the event that a parent or guardian strays too far away, a signal is sent to the keychain unit where they receive both a vibrating & audible alarm reminder.
