Cocoon an imaginary concept for the future Apple car
There has been discussion for several years about Apple's project in the field of self-driving car technology. There has been speculation about Apple developing autonomous vehicle technology, as well as unofficial designs.
One of these designs is an imaginary design of Divanga Pura published by YankoDesign for his Apple car. The designer explained his options in a recent interview with IE, noting that design choices have as much to do with function as they do with form.
“I wanted to design a radically different look, but at the same time offer a very simple transportation solution to solve the ever-increasing traffic congestion,” says Bora.
"My main goal was to create an experience that no user has ever experienced with other types of cars, simple, hassle-free, and fun to drive. But it solves many transportation problems in the modern age."
The Bora design consists of two main components: a four-wheeled platform and a two-seater cockpit.
The capsule is designed based on a cocoon-like shape, like an eggshell, giving you a sense of security on the inside.
Inside, the wall is semi-transparent, you can see from the inside out, but not the other way around.
The car designer continues, "It's safe on the outside, and on the inside it's full of exploration. It has a holistic approach approach. It was designed with the user at the center."
The biggest difference between this car and the classically designed cars seems to be the two-seater pod, which is capable of rotating 360 degrees.
It may seem strange at first glance, but in some scenarios this design has the potential to provide comfort, says Bora.
Imagine that you are on a busy road, and suddenly you remember that your partner on the left needs to get out. You ask him to jump over you and get off where "you can't risk opening the left door."
Bora says: The moving capsule ensures your safety as well as your comfort, welcome to the cocoon.
He admits that the design "is just an imaginary concept of an Apple car. I would definitely like to see it in real life interact with users, and see the faces of those who ride it. More importantly, they are going to have fun and move around, rather than being tense and stressed."
