Honda 1-4 Concept: 2007 Design LA


Honda’s vision of the future goes by the name “1-4” that represents the concept’s ability to transform from one to four separate modes of transportation. The design team decided that the “1-4” should be solar-powered which sounds pretty ok to us. And even if it didn't who the hell cares. You can check out all the details after the jump. -Continued

Honda - 14 - One to the Power of Four

The solar-hybrid powered Honda 14 is an energy efficient, fully robotic commuting solution. A suburban community re-population movement in the 2050’s has increased consumer demand for a truly flexible commuter vehicle.

The solar-hybrid Honda 14 solves the carpooling dilemma because it allows carpoolers to take advantage of HOV lanes, share commuting costs and once near the passengers’ final destinations, robotically transforms from one to four separate and unique modes of transportation.

Through a combination of gyros, artificial intelligence and molecular engineering, each individual vehicle instinctively reconfigures as a fully functional vehicle. When traveling as one, the division points are undetectable. The latest advancements in molecular engineering allow the body panels to divide and reshape to form each individual vehicle.
