The Float has sliding doors making it easy to get in and out.However, it is designed in a way that allows a greater number of people to travel together via a magnetic belt around the exterior that can be used to connect multiple pods. The Float is made to seat either one or two persons.The car can move in any direction without turning around.The Float has transparent exterior glass and silver bucket seats.Instead of using wheels, The Float employs Maglev tech (magnetic levitation).Here are some of the features of the futuristic-looking concept car:

The winning model was recently displayed at The London Design Festival’s designjunction2017. The winning designer was Yunchen Cai, who created a vehicle called “The Float.” The Float looks like a bubble in transit.Ĭai developed the model, along with designers from Renault, during the two weeks of her internship at the company’s Technocentre. To achieve this you need a strong current that has to be introduced to the conductor. The French car manufacturer recently held a contest for designing a futuristic car that focused on the company’s points for its future fleet: electric power, autonomous driving, and connected technologies.Ī design for a levitating bubble-shaped vehicle was announced as the winner of the competition. In this application the magnetic field strength needs to be maximized and strong. Renault and a group of students from the Central Saint Martins art and design college in London have teamed up to create the “Car of the Future.”
