Friends, Did you watch the above video? Yes it is Persuasive Electric Vehicle developed by MIT student researchers to envision future city transport system. These vehicles can move driver less and reach your place to pick you up to the destination. it is battery operated and can be booked with a phone App to arrive at your place. The congestion caused on city roads by Monster cars that occupy 40% of city roads is choking city lives both in developed and developing countries.
The Inside Technicalities of Persuasive Electric Vehicles
- It is built using standard bicycle components and weighs less than 50Kg
- Consists of sensors that can be easily configured and is operated with a battery of 10Ah
- Runs with 250W mid-range electric motor
- Provides a mileage of 25 Miles or 40 Kms per recharge
- Its top speed is 32-35 kms per hour
- Runs Driver less and arrives at your door step by booking it over phone App
- Can detect any obstacles on the street with precision
- Can transport both human and goods you would have booked online stores
Only Difficulty on Indian Roads to ply these vehicles is we do not have bi-cycle tracks and none of the Governments have considered this fact seriously and we are thinking SUV and MUV are future of City transportation.
