The recent car business is focusing more on style and speed, whereas, a car that can go 120 mph is being used in an area where it is mostly running at a moderate speed of around 60-70 mph and is waiting in traffic. In this situation, ATNMBL, a brilliantly designed concept car, can be an alternative that has been designed aiming to redefine the term ‘performance’.
This concept has been driven from the need for zero-pollution, efficient and affordable cars for the future community and enjoying the freedom of a ride. The ATNMBL is designed as a self-driving car with artificial intelligence which arrive to you with just a phone call. The standing-height entrance has an electric sliding glass door and upon entering, you will be asked for your desired destination. The comprehensive and innovative voice recognition system of this vehicle along with a touch screen remote and slide up display, it can offer a wide range of tour planning, detailed performance setting and enjoyable ride sharing.
The overall arrangement of the interior of ATNMBL is very much familiar with conventional living room sitting including side chair, a couch and a low table. Up to seven passengers can sit towards each other and can see outside through large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides. From outside, this vehicle looks like micro-architecture with a large window, pitched room and asymmetrical shape from every view without any reference to past automobile designs.
A considerable amount of typical car space is blocked with the engine and drive train, while, the mechanical components of ATNMBL are simplified and densely packed, providing more interior space. Each wheel contains electric motors which provide all-wheel drive. The power storing mechanism is located beneath the floor; moreover, alternative solar energy can be obtained from the roof-top solar panels. The front and rear end contains an array of tail lights, headlights and sensors.

WOW, i had the same concept except mine is a room with a bed and a computer chair that detaches from the house and drives away and docks back into the house when you comeback. Great to see someone else with a similar concept and much better 3-d skills than myself 🙂
Looks like this concept is a replacement for the automobile, but I think it should be a replacement for rail coaches as well. With the addition of a catenary/shoe and standard gauge rail wheels, you could run passengers from heavy rail mainline stations all the way down to street level on light rail. (Only issue is that groups of these pods would have to stop at every interlocking switch so that each pod could be switched its own way. ) Now, if somehow these pods could run with switchable rail AND road wheels, well, then, it could probably drop you off at home like a taxi!
NAILED it, I'm ashamed I didn't think of it…
