According to the Chinese subsidiary of Citroen, a passenger pod like this can be installed on a self-driving car platform and used as a mobile café, karaoke club or small-but-comfy apartment.
The concept of a vehicle consisting of an electric skateboard platform and a unified cabin mounted on top is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. The design lends itself to all kinds of uses, from traditional cars and trucks to the more exotic use cases described above.
Dubbed the Urban Collectif, Citroen’s take on this concept comes with multiple pod designs. The most comfortable passenger capsule lets the passengers take a nap in seat unfolding into beds.
Blue and purple backlight in another 3D sketch creates a night club ambience. This version of the pod comes equipped with a karaoke machine with mic and a large display.
The third and last design previewed at the Shanghai show resembles a café with visitors sitting at tables in front of each other. You can have a snack and a drink while on the way to your destination.
