The Wi-Fly by Phil Pauley is the first Semi Autonomous Public Transport Pod.
It is the first in a series of personalized public and private transportation devices that require the driver to stand while driving.
The Wi-Fly uses a range of street recognition software and GPS guidance systems to ensure that it can be wirelessly upgraded for performance and maintenance updates.
It is fitted with over 10 cameras to record your every move.
It has a maximum speed of 30mph and will require a driver to be 16yrs or over.
Wi-Fly Pods will be located at strategic locations around public infrastructure hubs.
Individuals will be able to use their oyster, debit or credit cards to activate the Pods and will be charged on a time distance calculation. Individuals will be able to hire units for extended periods of time.
Once an individual has arrived at their destination, the Pod will return to the nearest strategic location where it will attach itself to the back of the queue of Pods to recharge.
Using state of the art road surveying and road identification GPS software in conjunction with autonomous awareness through a network wireless connectivity along strategic points, the Pod will be street responsive through interactive camera intelligence.
The unit is extremely responsive to handling in the urban environment and is one-sixth the size of an existing road going car, safer than a bicycle and opens up the city for friends and family members alike.
The pod is designed to be controlled standing up and as such does not require a seat belt.
The pod can have a adult passenger standing next to the driver or two grown up children standing either side of the driver and has luggage space for groceries shopping or bags.
