Chapter 1: The Rise of Modular Mobile Spaces
The concept of modular and configurable mobile spaces is gaining traction, particularly with innovations from companies like Pix Moving. Their ROBOBUS prototype exemplifies the potential of autonomous vehicles, which have been a focus of automotive manufacturers for over a decade. Although significant progress has been made, there are still challenges to overcome in this evolving field.
In the words of Pix Moving:
"PIX Moving is offering city residents a varied shared mobility experience, transforming Moving Space into a modern way of life."
They have created a system based on their unique PIX Ultra-skateboard Chassis Platform. Essentially, Pix Moving specializes in crafting both 3-Wheel and 4-Wheel chassis that can be tailored for various applications:
These versatile platforms can be adapted for different functionalities, allowing for an impressive range of possibilities. Imagine utilizing these open-source chassis for customized pods that serve various needs, such as a mobile beverage service.
What if you could catch some rest during your travels in a mobile hotel room?
Or perhaps you wish to complete work tasks or enjoy gaming while on the road?
Pix Moving envisions a future full of possibilities, including mobile karaoke lounges, unattended vending units, taxis, and even gyms. Their compact vehicles are designed to be agile and easy to navigate, even in tight spaces.
Advertising opportunities are also plentiful with such a vehicle; envision a fleet of these as taxis or minibuses showcasing various promotional materials.
This vehicle can accommodate up to six passengers, although the comfort level may vary depending on the size of the passengers and any additional luggage. Safety is a priority as well, with the ROBOBUS incorporating multiple redundant safety systems to ensure secure travels. With a maximum speed of 18 mph, this vehicle is designed with safety in mind rather than speed.
The ROBOBUS operates as an electric vehicle with a 21.5 kWh battery, providing a range of up to 60 miles. It can be fast-charged in just 1.5 hours or slowly charged over a period of 5 hours, making it a practical option for modern urban environments.
Final Thoughts
While the ROBOBUS is not intended for those in a hurry, it raises intriguing questions about the future of speed limits and how these vehicles may evolve. The idea of a mobile gym raises concerns about motion discomfort, but at 18 mph, it may not be a significant issue. Such vehicles could serve well in environments like campuses, airports, and small communities, enhancing mobile vending opportunities.
We are currently witnessing a thrilling phase in the electric vehicle sector, with innovations emerging almost daily. The ROBOBUS represents an exciting development, and it will be fascinating to see how such vehicles become a reality. Stay tuned!
