EXTREME TECHNOLOGY ON FUTURE

     Due to the extreme technology coming in the near future the life of the people would surely be more comforts and full of luxury. Imagine that you travel via train, airport or any other mean of transportation, you exit the platform and found the cars or scooters stacked together just like a line of trolleys at the airport. You pick the first available car and moved towards you office. At work, you simply stack the vehicle along with the rest in the parking area. And you follow the same procedure on the way back to home. And I forgot to tell you that the car which you will drive will be without staring and the scooter is foldable…. Really.    They are energy efficient, clean, compact and simple, and that’s making very cool to the people that use it. US researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s ‘smart cities’ project, headed by William J Mittchell have already built a prototype of the scooter, and will soon unveil one of the car, in a bid to design the urban transport of the near by future. THE CITY CAR

   The City Car is a stackable, electric, two-passenger vehicle, designed to be used in dense urban areas around the globe. The idea is a revolutionary one in technology. Not only will the City Car be a shared vehicle that can be picked up and dropped off at convenient urban locations- such as bus stops or train stations- but it will also incorporate a totally new way of thinking about how to build a car which will not pollute the nature around them: All the essential mechanical system will be housed in the car’s wheels.

   There is no engine, at least in the traditional sense. The power comes from the devices called ‘WHEEL ROBOTS’, which are self-contained, digitally controlled robotic wheels, complete with their own suspension and having simple connections to the car body.       The city car design eliminates the need for traditional engine blocks, gearboxes, differentials, or even a steering wheel. Plus it allows for extraordinary manoeuvrability: the wheels can turn a full 360 degrees, making it a lot easier to park in really tight urban spaces.

    The car tiny size and agility allow much more efficient use of scare road, street and parking space. The traditional dashboard, it will also be equipped with computer screens that have sophisticated urban search and navigation capabilities, while mechanical information is mostly sent to the system operator. It is very lightweight, all electric, contolled digitally, almost silent and pollution free car which will help the globe in many ways to minimize the use of gas and other harmful chemical.

 THE SMART SCOOTER

    The scooter which can be folded and can be placed in any small area in the house or in the garage .The new scooter – built in collaboration with SYM, a major scooter manufacture in Taiwan, and ITRI, Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute. All about providing a clean, green, silent electric scooter that would provide, even better, the same kind of urban mobility.

      Thanks to WHEEL ROBOTS, the scooter’s prototype can be folded up to about half its size making it even easier to store in crowded urban cities around the globe.     In very dense cities of world where scooter parking is a major problem, the small size is a very big advantage for the scooter. When the scooter is folded, it can also be easily wheeled along like a trolley suitcase, and is no larger, thus making the scooter easy to be places on trains while traveling or even indoor if necessary.     The simplified design help to keep the production cost below. As the typical scooter have 1000 parts, this scooter have only 150 parts. The design of the scooter is also an important feature getting the new concept to be adopted because people want to look good on it.     The team has come up with two of its scooter models. One with feature of folding and another with normal scooter available in market.  The simplest model is being produce for only those regions where the low cost is most important and space restriction are not as crucial like in other dense region.
