Amaphilisi esikhathi esizayo anokukhishwa okunguziro
Embukisweni wezimoto i-Geneva International Motor Show, i-Italdesign kanye ne-Airbus baveze umqondo we-PopUp, uhlelo lokuqala lokuhamba ngogesi olungakhiqizi lutho, oluklanyelwe ukunciphisa isiminyaminya emadolobheni amakhulu. I-Pop.Up iwumbono wezokuthutha ze-multimodal ezisebenzisa ngokugcwele kokubili izwe kanye nendawo yomoya.
Njengoba sifunda ekukhululweni kwabezindaba, uhlelo lwe-Pop.Up luqukethe "izingqimba" ezintathu. Eyokuqala inkundla yokwenziwa kwezobunhloli elawula uhambo ngokusekelwe olwazini lomsebenzisi, ephakamisa ezinye izimo zokusetshenziswa nokuqinisekisa uhambo olungenazihibe oluya endaweni oya kuyo. Eyesibili imoto yomgibeli emise okwe-pod engakwazi ukuxhuma kumamojula amabili anamandla kagesi ahlukene futhi azimele (aphansi kanye ne-aerial) - i-Pop.Up pod ingabuye ihlanganiswe nezinye izinhlobo zezithuthi zomphakathi. "Izinga" lesithathu imojuli yesixhumi esibonakalayo egcina ingxoxo nabasebenzisi endaweni ebonakalayo.
Isici esibalulekile somklamo yi-capsule yomgibeli eshiwo kakade. Le cocoon ye-carbon fibre ezisekelayo ingu-2,6m ubude, 1,4m ukuphakama no-1,5m ububanzi.Ishintsha ibe imoto yedolobha ngokuxhuma kumojula yaphansi ene-carbon chassis futhi inikwa amandla yibhethri. Uma uhamba edolobheni elinabantu abaningi, idonswa kumojula yaphansi futhi ithwalwe yimojula yomoya engu-5 x 4,4 m eqhutshwa ama-rotor ayisishiyagalombili aphikisayo. Lapho abagibeli befika lapho beya khona, amamojula omoya nomhlaba, kanye ne-capsule, abuyela ngokuzenzakalelayo eziteshini zokushaja ezikhethekile, lapho elinde amakhasimende alandelayo.
