AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY CONCEPT VEHICLE

SEGWAYS and other forms of personal mobility transport have not really made their presence felt worldwide due to the high entry cost and lack of basic infrastruc­ture in less developed countries. However, there is still a market for personal mobility rides.

Enter Luxoft Holding’s microSNAP, an autonomous mobility concept vehicle that targets the fast-growing shared economy segment. The microSNAP is a twoseater concept vehicle that will help consumers connect to different aspects of their unique digital lifestyle. For starters, it will fully integrate your own digital lifestyles into the riding experience so that occupants will be able to enjoy a truly personalis­ed experience, making no two rides with different passengers the same.

Based on the idea of synergy, the microSNAP concept would like to pave the future where there is a sustainabl­e and innovative mobility solution that will help move people around to their intended destinatio­ns while having access to numerous services in a more efficient manner.

The fully autonomous ride that will have safety at the top of its priority list, relies on complex algorithms to achieve reliable objective recognitio­n and classifica­tion; an array of sensors recreates a detailed environmen­t model so that the goal of safe autonomous driving is achieved.

Granted, moving around in the microSNAP is going to need plenty of tests before the idea gains traction with the masses as there are still many people who feel far safer with a human driver behind the wheel or controls of any form of public transport, but the microSNAP is a step in the right direction when it comes to integratin­g a personal, digital lifestyle with the rest of the world.
