We have seen the future, and it is sticky. This is
the Peugeot Metromorph concept, a smart extension of those building-scaling cars
from Minority Report.
It's the brainchild of Roman Mistiuk, a design student at the Academy of Art University, and here's how it works: the concept seats two, and runs flat along the road like a
computer mouse.
Until, that is, you reach the outside of your futuristic apartment block - in
the future, everyone will live in futuristic apartment blocks - when it flips
the seats through 90 degrees and scuttles up the side of the building to your
futuristic bay window. Upon reaching said window, it will dock and the floor
will mysteriously open, allowing easy ingress to your pad.
Smart, eh? Not only does it save you the effort of catching a lift with that
sweaty bloke who doesn't appear to have discovered anti-perspirant, but the
Metromorph also negates the need for street-side parking spaces.
It's powered, said Mistiuk, by a pair of in-wheel electric motors, though
there's no word on how it'll stick to the side of the building. An enormous
number of very, very secure future-magnets, we're hoping - you don't want your
balcony attachment/city runabout to become an impromptu rollercoaster ride,
too...

Why do Peugeot have such an obsession with crap "mobility solutions" for "the metropolis of tomorow"?

And when you are at home, all the people on the upper floors can't leave nor return home since your car is on the way up.

@IrishStiggy They're French creative types and still think Le Courbusian idea of all of us living in high rise flats is a good idea (despite La Haine showing them different...)
