Layer focuses on the future of rideshare with its latest concept, Joyn. The project provides for a ridesharing platform based on autonomous vehicles that people can share.
The design of Joyn Layer features eight “S” shaped seats in an interesting setting that forms two private rows. The passengers of this autonomous vehicle for ridesharing they would use a special app to search for one nearby and book a specific seat.
Layer Joyn, how future ridesharing is made
The focus of the design is on privacy, but the seats have “dynamic wings that can be kept closed or open to create a space that encourages interactions”, reads in the description of the project.
The interior by Layer Joyn takes inspiration from the design of a home, rather than traditional transportation design. There are stowable tables with intelligent functions in the seat backrests.
The outside instead it is an “intelligent glass bubble” that allows an immersive view of the surrounding environment. And it would show information, also through augmented reality, for each passenger thanks to transparent OLED screens.
Intended for trips in a time frame (and radius) of less than 30 minutes, this platform “eliminates the use of the private car without sacrificing comfort,” in the words of its designer Benjamin Hubert.
To be beautiful, the vehicle is beautiful. Clean, essential, with the right degree of "futurism".
The minimal yet modern design of the ridesharing vehicle is decidedly easy on the eyes (but has the issue of accessibility been addressed?).
