Zoox - interesting driverless vehicle!
 
Mentioned on Bloomberg TV so I looked it up... interesting lime green and black :D

Huh. They're hiring for a bunch of positions right now.

Concept render:

Reality:

That render is something else. For 4 people to sit upright, those wheels have to be, what--36"?

Gotta look sexy for the sales pitch! :D

Depends on what you consider upright. 20's would work for a 45* recline

I don't think anyone would tolerate that much inclination; with the seats all facing each other, I expect they're trying to make it easy for passengers to converse while they're whisked along.

Vman455 — Man's reach must exceed his grasp, else what's a metaphor? (I forget the original)

Concept is dumb. No suspension? Front shape is the same as the rear? It has neither form nor function.

I prefer the Local Motors Olli

Similar footprint with more capacity, and ingress/egress isn't problematic.

I was solving only the 30"+ wheel height problem. It IS a concept car

It's an art piece, not a concept.
