AERO Mobility Vision Concept

This vehicle concept was designed to showcase the founder's vision to investors, demonstrating an ultra-efficient vehicle at highway speeds, while also giving the occupant a commanding view of the road in slower urban settings. The design enables four pods to fit in a standard parking space when folded.

Canopy Mechanism

I developed a cable-driven system with a geared stepper motor nested within complex greenhouse surfaces to operate the canopy opening and closing sequence.

Seating System

Two linear actuators drive a four-bar mechanism that translates and rotates the seat while maintaining ergonomic positioning. The seat height adjusts from approximately 100mm (race car configuration) to 300mm (large SUV configuration) throughout its travel range.

Interior Controls

In collaboration with the industrial designer, I integrated controls and information displays into black walnut and brushed aluminum armrests next to a leather cushion, making the seat the occupant's primary interface point.
