Autonomobile- the End to Driving

Posted July 09, 2009 9:10 AM

From Newlaunches.com:

Mike and Maaike, the guys who designed the Google Phone have come up an amazing new concept called the atnmbl or the autonomobile. If this concept takes shape, it will change the way people drive. It is less of a car and more of a seven-person autonomous mobile living room. The atnmbl is a boon to those who believe that an ideal driving experience is notdriving at all!

"the solar and electric powered atnmbl asks for your destination and then takes you there in no time."

Ah, I have always wanted an existential temporal experience, but it still sounds like a bus.

"To keep you entertained during the trip, the atnmbl has an Internet browsing screen and open-source software architecture to download apps, check e-mails and stay connected to your friends on social networking sites."

Okay, that sounds like getting on your local bus with a laptop.

"That's, not all, it even has a bar!"

Seen that, too, on the bus. Guy behind me had a bottle in a brown bag.

So, after smoking some really great weed they came up with this idea. Let's make a glass container, stuff a bunch of people in it and see what happens under the Florida sun. And just what happens in an accident?

Dude, I'm thinking, like, put a hot tub in it and sign me up. Far out man.

Looks like a rolling living room.
