As populations grow and continue to migrate into cities, transportation has become an issue within congested cities. Less than half of the inhabitants of New York City, for example, even own a car. It just doesn’t make sense to own one when the distances traveled is short while traffic and parking are impossible.
The folks at MIT Media Lab demonstrated this half-scale vehicle to TheNextWeb at the Media Evolution’s The Conference. As you’ll see, this solves two of the three major problems with intra-city travel – ownership (they can be shared) and parking (they fold). Traffic is still a challenge, but two out of three isn’t bad. Hopefully, we’ll see a full-size version rolled out soon.

it looks great!
buy it seems that it’s too cramped inside the car….
Size does seem like an issue here. It doesn’t seem like a car that would offer much protection against accidents on the road. On the other hand, an issue like that could be fixed once the full-sized version is made.
Its really looking awesome.You have done a great job by sharing this post with us.I like this post.Keep sharing with us in future too.
