Automatic amphibians help avoid traffic congestion

Designer Bernardo Pereira creates a crosser, an automatic amphibian that can run underwater when faced with traffic congestion on the road. Introducing the idea for the first time in February 2024, then the designer revised the crosser, fixing the error of the first version in the second generation. The door part is now on the water, and Pereira increases the width of the vehicle to make the car more spacious. He also reduced the height of the seat and developed an application for a vehicle like a valve Design Boom.

Pereira designed crosser in the form of modules. The vehicle can become a two -seat, pickup truck with the rear cargo space, or transportation for field activities such as emergency response. If used for emergency transportation, the cockpit will combine both automatic and have a driver. As a result, the driver can still control the steering wheel with automatic steering function.

The space inside the crosser automatic amphibian also has a module. Users can swap layouts with two symmetrical sides. The cabin has a rounded rectangle in the corner. It may contain additional devices like the speaker if necessary. In total, the cabin has 4 seats, each side has two seats with the center of the middle. This area can also be used as a temporary storage place when passengers carry utensils.

The door of the crosser equipped with NFC technology only allows passengers to open the car. They can put smartphones near the led screen on the door. The car door also automatically closed. When the sensor under the seat detects the weight of the passenger, they slide out and close. The exterior screen is stretching around the car, hiding the camera and automatic driving sensor. Camera and sensor systems can be detected in driving mode and adjustment on the vehicle.

When entering and going to water as canals, the crosser will slow down before accelerating. The front wheel rotates 30 degrees to adjust between road and waterway running. When returning to the road, the crosser’s suspension automatically adjusts to suit the road conditions. According to Pereira, the vehicle aims to automatically level 5 when running in the ground and underwater environment thanks to technologies such as radar, lidar, supersonic sensors, thermal camera can take digital photos around.

In terms of safety equipment, the crosser uses real -time tracking. Its sensor also detects collisions, automatically deploying airbags inside and outside the car to protect passengers and body. The vehicle will not boot unless all passengers tie the seat belt. Each passenger can press the “stop” button above the chair in an emergency. In addition, there is a floating device on the side of the car. When the vehicle has problems in a waterway, the car can activate the floating system by itself while passengers are waiting for rescue.

In terms of texture, the crosser consists of 5 parts, there is a computer located near the bridge. The car’s battery is in the middle to balance the weight. The main structure of the car uses aluminum and magnesium alloy parts to help reduce the load. The car has a barrel at the bottom that helps the vehicle not to be submerged in water. This part of the barrel uses polyurethane foams to increase the floating force and have 4 potty potty tubes to create thrust. Crosser is equipped with 4 electric motor placed inside the wheel and behind the brake disc. Crosser’s charging port is located in the corner of the car so as not to be flooded.
