What if we could use not only the time but also the space within our vehicles?

Introducing AXO

AXO is an autonomous vehicle service that allows you to rent the vehicle by time. AXO's modular interiors adapt to any activity you wish to do while on the way to your destination. This means you can take your 30-minute meeting, a 15-minute power nap, or have a cute movie date while on the move.

The AXO Autonomous Vehicle

Adjustable Seats

Designed for comfort and adaptability, these seats move around in the car and adjust based on the activity at hand.

Lidar Cameras

These cameras, strategically positioned on the four corners of the vehicle allow it to recognize its surroundings and autonomously drive, evading obstacles, and making decisions on the road to reach its destination.

Omnidirectional Wheels

Due to its autonomous capabilities, AXO is able to drive in both directions. With both of the wheels being able to turn, it increases maneuverability, efficiency, and providing smoother movements.

Top Ventilation

To circulate air from outside to provide fresh air. It can be adjusted to open both sides, just the front, or just the back to regulate how much air comes in.

Transparent OLED Windows

The windows can be adjusted to be more or less dim, and display media to provide options in privacy, lighting, and entertainment.

Falcon-Wing Doors

After a brief warning, the doors open upwards for comfortable and easy access. The door unlocks through the app or by entering a passcode provided in the app on arrival.

And Once You're Inside, It Only Gets Better

The modular interiors are designed to shift an adapt according to the task at hand, hiding and exposing tables, and adjusting chairs to provide the necessary versatility to meet your spatial needs.

Standard

A balance between space and interaction, ideal to have a formal conversation or if you require more space in between each other.

Work

This mode brings the larger center table up providing working space so you can get ahead on your assignments, have a meal, or play a board game on the go.

Social

Allowing for closer face to face interactions, this mode brings up the smaller side table and brings the seats together to share a drink, reminisce on some memories, or even have a date while you see the wonders of the city.

Movie / Landscape

As the seats rotate towards the large side window, you can choose to either dim the windows to enjoy your favorite forms of entertainment with the transparent OLED display on the windows. Alternatively, you can return the windows to transparent and just enjoy the beauty of the city around you.

Rest

If you need a little energy before your big meeting or just want a space to take a nap, the chairs will lay back and AXO will recalculate its route to ensure the smoothest ride, so you can  sleep while swayed by the gentle movements of the omnidirectional wheels.
