Standard Model

The Standard Model is a single passenger vehicle for the urban commuter. Utilizing an advanced smart polygonal tesselation system which is transformable, the user is able to purchase multiple design variations for a single vehicle superstructure.
The tesselation gnomon is a stratified triangle of advanced photo-voltaic holographic emitters, carbon nanotubes and 4th gen shape memory alloy. Higher resolution forms are a higher cost, however holographics may be employed to give the appearance of a high resolution surface or to simply increase the visual dynamics.
Upon exiting the Standard Model, the PTS collapses into immersive holographic enclosure as the front wheel retracts into the negative space of the rear levitation system.
The Transverse Mag-Wheel uses a system of room temperature superconductors embedded throughout the surface of the wheel which propel and steer the vehicle via an intelligent pattern of magnetic pulses which react to the roads of the Grand Concourse. Conversely, Magnetic motors int he hub are powered with solar energy absorbed through and distributed by the PTS,
The Immersive Holographic Enclosure is a recent innovation which facilitates real-time interaction with both actual and artificial personalities in a variety of purchaseable environments and climates, maximizing time spent while on route to the desired destination and providing the most comfortable and entertaining travel experience money can buy.
