You don’t need a licence to drive the Citroën Ami One - Yanko Design

Citroën seems to take information technology the boom on the head past calling its Ami One a 'disruptive all-electric object', and non a car. Barely 2.5 meters long, the Ami I stems from an thought that traveling is an activity, and a car should only exist as permanent as the need of that activity. The video above makes a pretty bold claim by saying that YOU choose how long you want (to rent) your car. Five minutes, five hours, five days…months , or even five years. This sounds like a gimmick, but think nigh the fact that there are people who book taxis and ubers or take public ship, versus people who own cars. While one demographic focuses on the trip, the other focuses on ownership. The ability to own/rent the Ami 1 based on your needs or your belief arrangement easily appeals to anybody.

The Ami One positions itself as a need-based vehicle that tin cater to both machine-owners as well as people who would otherwise opt for public transport. If that wide approach wasn't plenty, Citroën claims that (according to European legislation) the Ami Ane can exist driven without a licence past people every bit young as 16 year olds, opening the Ami One to youngsters every bit well equally foreigners or people without licenses. With a maximum speed of 28mph (it isn't built for speed), the Citroën is a four-bike equivalent of riding an electric wheel, making it relatively safer than your regular iv-wheeled speed demon, while too justifying the fact that it can be driven without a license. The car's rental organization ties itself to your smartphone. Scan a barcode and the car is yours. In fact the telephone even extends to become your auto's dashboard, with a defended slot to identify it in. The Ami One even packs a wireless charging surface for your smartphone for practiced measure out.

The Ami One comes with an incredibly meaty design (ideal for two passengers) and a zero-emission, zippo-sound electric drive. With an aesthetic that'south edgy however friendly, futuristic even so realistic, the Ami One is an unabashed people-pleaser. Citroën imagines a future where cities will be abuzz with these small, rubber, and useful-to-all NEVs, and is all set to debut the car… ahem… disruptive all-electric object at the Geneva Motor Show next month!
