City Transport Cell: built around the commuting city slicker

City-Transport-Cell-concept.jpg

The City Transport Cell is a collaborative effort between design students Stefan Mathys, Florian Kaufmann, Thomas Spycher and Christof Bigler. Their mission: design a car for the cities of the year 2020.

The bold team of four went ahead and did away with what we consider a car's interior. More bus than sedan, the CTC has seats mounted on tubes that easily allow passengers to adjust the height of the seat, which are sloped in such away that people half recline rather than sit. Chairs can be swiveled out of the way for more cargo space, and drink holders and laptop trays can be mounted on them as needed. And, hey, since it's the year 2020, the car also drives itself.

Check out the gallery below to explore the City Transport Cell from conception, inside and out.

I think I like the MIT version better.

The fine minds at MIT are hard to upstage. Still, I dig the redesigned interior of the CTC quite a bit.

Thanks for reading.
