The Idea of Tesla's public autonomous vehicle


Interchangeable Travel-POD System

Tesla's designers envisioned a fun idea for autonomous vehicles that could be used publicly. It is a modular self-propelled vehicle that is not a one completed vehicle but a POD (application-specific upper module) mounted on a standardized platform. The idea is that the basic platform can be self-propelled in five stages, and the POD module is designed to be divided into the following categories: public transport, commercial transport, and personal transport.

The advantage of this approach is that the same platform can be used to increase production efficiency, and since the POD can be replaced, it can respond flexibly to changes in demand. Of course, it is still in the idea stage, and it will take a lot of time to commercialize this type of autonomous vehicle. Or it may not be released due to technical and economic difficulties. But will not our lives become more convenient and fun because there are so many different ideas?

I hope to see more ideas coming in the future.
