The idea is to combine taxi service, real-time ride sharing and self-driving vehicles. Friendly looking vehicles named BOT will be in constant connection with the network that accepts ride-requests. They can pick up users at any location, and unlike public transport, drive them directly to the destination. If someone needs to go in similar direction, the system allows him or her to join a ride, making it an efficient way to commute. One cab could replace 4 or even more private cars and would greatly contribute to reduction of traffic congestion. BOT addresses the issue of lone car commuters and also deals with the problem of poor user experience of mass transit, repetitive waiting periods, last mile issue and inflexibility.
BOTs have accepted ride-requests which can be easily made with a mobile device. They can pick up users at any location, and just like a taxi, drive them directly to their final destination.
Another important aspect is that with BOTs operating in a city, the need for parking spaces would be tremendously reduced, allowing the creation of more parks and thus giving back the urban space to the people. Unlike public transport (in Finland buses often drive empty after rush hours), BOTs operate only when needed and where needed.
The BOT project takes under consideration various aspects such as local culture and lifestyle, people’s needs, ecological issues, sustainability, human emotions and provides simple, yet an innovative solution. The design of the vehicle truly reflects values that somehow have been forgotten or twisted by the automotive industry, friendliness, humbleness, honesty, simplicity and optimism. BOT is not egocentric. It creates a deep relationship with the user.
The vehicle uses multiple innovative solutions. Self-driving ability, capacious air-lithium batteries, artificial intelligence, organically folding seats, light-emitting windows (thanks to transparent display tech), and all-year-round tires. This vehicle creates and defines its own category. It’s a future vision of a new transportation system that could replace cars since most people would prefer to use public transport for commuting.
People will get to experience the same functionality of car without having to own one. The BOT is designed to be a relatively cheap and safe cab that individuals can share with others to reduce cost/ride and traffic congestion. Everyone can access this vehicle; it offers door-to-door mobility for elderly people, children, and people with disabilities. Sharing the ride also means that you get to meet new people every day, strengthening the feeling of belonging to society.
