Apple iGo is a Design Study for an Autonomous Transportation System
In 2000, Apple was a computer manufacturer. Today, it still churns out more-stylish-than-ever iMacs and MacBooks, but it has become a much bigger entity dominating the digital music player, smart phone and tablet markets.
So, now that the iPod, iPhone and iPad have become a part of our everyday lives, maybe it’s time for the company to move on. To what, you may ask?
Shane Baxley, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Transportation Design from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, thinks that cars are a great way for the company to diversify and expand its business. That’s why his project, which was completed last April, is a car-sharing service designed for the Apple brand.
Baxley’s project is named the iGo and it consists of three autonomous electric vehicles:
The iMe is an ultra-compact one-person transportation vehicle; the iWe, a family vehicle for longer journeys and the iUs, a version of the iWe that’s meant for “a date out with the significant other†or, since it’s the only one in which the driver can assume control, be taken out for a ride.
