Sleep and move within an autonomous nighttime “quick” pod
The brainchild of designer Peter Stulz and his 3D illustration studio Xoio is Autonomously overnight trip concept car The pod, called Swift Pod, can autonomously drive passengers inside a hotel-like room while they sleep. For the design team, the Swift Pod can be booked like a regular taxi using the app, with the ability to specify a preferred time and location, or even pre-book for a specific date.Once autonomously overnight travel pod Upon arrival, passengers board the vehicle and the vehicle autonomously calculates the optimal route and required speed to reach the destination in time.

Triangular concept vehicle with giant wheels
no one is driving Mr. Zoio Swift Pod allows anyone to simply sleep or participate in their favorite activities inside an autonomous night travel concept vehicle. Before you get inside, you might be able to tell just how spacious the cabin is just by looking at the exterior. With two giant wheels on its sides, the concept vehicle resembles a larger version of a motorcycle and may even look like the emoji's steel-forged eyes.
But when passengers look on the other side, they see that the Swift Pod has three wheels, as the concept vehicle tilts to form a triangle. “We chose to stick with the iconic triangular shape to emphasize the story of the diverse future of transportation.” Peter Stulz says of the Xoio design team's decision to choose triangular pods:

Sit upright or travel while lying down
Up to two travelers can fit inside the Swift pod. They can travel sitting upright using a small folding desk in front of them, or lying down using a single bed in the corner of the room. During the journey, the autonomous night travel concept vehicle can also entertain the user with an on-board media system until reaching the destination, or snack on on-board food and drinks as part of the vehicle's service. If you bring your own luggage, you can store it in the storage space under your bed or seat. Long rides can also be broken up with short stopovers, with passengers simply informing the Swift pod of their rest schedule.

The self-driving overnight travel concept vehicle is also smart, as the Swift Pod suggests stops for passengers to stop for food or enjoy the scenery on the way to their destination. “Lastly, our design team is very aware that the design chosen is very minimalistic.” Peter Stulz added:However, this design approach allows for a cabin with a relaxing feel without outside noise and distractions.

Xoio's founders say the name Swift Pod comes from how quickly passengers can fall asleep on board. In fact, the entire concept of this vehicle stems from the idea of traveling long distances while you sleep. “Our design team has always been fascinated by night trains and waking up at your destination after a good night’s sleep. We were looking for a sustainable way to travel, and night trains cost-effectively We were struggling to operate, so we came up with the idea of filling that gap in the area of individual autonomous transportation.” Peter Stulz says.
