NEXT Transportation Concept
Designed by Italian designers and engineers, the NEXT Transportation Concept is a self driving modular vehicle, that autonomously drives on the normal routine roads, at the same time being able to join themselves and detach easily while in continuous motion.

In order to reduce the traffic congestion, 3-4 of the modular vehicles can join together, the doors in between the them fold and create a walk-able platform for passengers to move around freely, allowing more space and also creating a bus-like atmosphere for the people to socialize more easily. To reduce the running cost, pollution and commute time, the conjunction of the modules would enhance the occupancy rate, increase the flow of traffic with ease and be more eco-friendly.

The NEXT App allows the travelers to call the module and bring them to their prescribed location. The addition of the routing system allows the modules to transfer passengers of smaller routes to one module and the longer routes in one, which allows the cutting down of the energy consumed, while at the same time reducing the traffic footprint.

The app allows the traveler to decide the choice of food, drink, and the choice of using a restroom while in motion. The time allotted for the service module is completed, then it is attached to the defined module and provides the service on the move.
