Is This The World’s First Pandemic Proof Car?

Sat 19th Sep 2020

A University in the UK has proclaimed to have designed the world’s first pandemic proof car, with individual personal space and a special cleanliness display panel.

The futuristic design has been conceived by Coventry University’s professor of transport design, Paul Herriotts at the National Transport Design Centre with the University’s in-house design team.

Complete with touch free doors, and interior UV light treatment between journeys, the car would be kept clean both inside and out ensuring a viral free journey for passengers.
"It’s only very recently that the future of transport seemed to be moving from personal transport to shared mobility, whether delivered by a scooter or cycle scheme or more futuristically by autonomous pods providing an on-demand service,” said Prof Herriots.

"But the world is now in a very different place and what recently seemed an appealing vision of the future now seems less attractive with our Covid-19 awareness.
