The idea of a self-driving car with a sleeping pod for two passengers may sound like something from a science fiction film, but Xoio researchers are working toward making this a reality. The ‘Swift Pod,’ their most recent invention, promises to transform long-distance travel by enhancing its comfort and convenience.
Two passengers can unwind and take a nap in the spacious sleeping pod of the Swift Pod while being driven to their destination. With two single beds, the pod is made to be a cozy place for passengers to sleep so they can lie down and relax while traveling. There’s also a seating space for individuals who would rather not sleep.
The Swift Pod’s capacity to give passengers snacks and drinks while they’re on the road eliminates the need for frequent stops at service stations, making it one of its distinctive characteristics. The car is made to go at a “reasonable speed” so that the occupants can sleep and the trip is efficient.
The design of the Swift Pod was influenced by the romantic allure of night trains, according to Xoio’s blog post, where travelers can awaken at their destination following a revitalizing nap. The vehicle’s futuristic triangular form highlights the team’s dedication to efficiency and sustainability in transportation.
Passengers can order the Swift Pod online by entering their preferred destination and departure time. After then, a navigation system determines on its own how fast it needs to go in order to arrive at the destination on time, accounting for various factors including traffic. Additionally, the vehicle provides the choice of stopovers at a variety of appealing sites for breaks.
The Swift Pod presents an intriguing look into the transportation of the future, even though it is currently only a concept. It has the potential to improve the comfort, convenience, and environmental friendliness of long-distance travel with its unique features and design.
