Quadopod Corporation

Quadopod Corporation

A brand-new way of transportation which will revolutionize the whole transportation industry.

Recently in the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas that was displayed a quad-copter which can autonomously transport one single person at the speed of 60 mph for short distances at the low altitude.

(Ehang, a Chinese drone company, announced a new product at CES it's calling the Ehang184, an all electric quadcopter scaled up from a drone so that it's large enough to carry a passenger. Ehang calls it an autonomous aerial vehicle, I prefer personal pilotless helicopter, but if you need to explain what it is to anyone, just say it's a driverless car for the sky. )After reading this and also reading about all the new concept cars using electricity as power I was thinking about this when I went to sleep yesterday night.

And I had this early-morning dream about the Quadopod Corporation

Imagine the following scenario

Elon musk of the Tesla Corporation Sunder Pichai of Google Corporation (wing), Jeff Bezos of amazon

Niklas Zennström ,the inventor of Skype and Garrett Camp, the founder of StumbleUpon, and Travis Kalanick   the brains  behind Uber get-together at San Jose California for the weekend.

Although all these people can afford to fly by executive jets or helicopters they actually decide to travel by car and get stuck in the traffic. So while stuck in the traffic they start discussing scenarios where such traffic jams do not exist.

And after a long discussion they decided to pool their resources together to form the Quadopod Corporation.

They decide that the transportation industry needs a paradigm change and a disruptive technology like Uber when combined with ehang corporation’s quad copter technology and Tesla corporation’s extra long-lasting and mass-produced batteries and powerful electric motors when combined with Google maps Google’s speech recognition technology combined with Google translate and Microsoft technologies Skype with its videoconferencing technology put together can form the following type of transportation which will make many of the things which we take as necessary and irreplaceable obsolete.

Step one; the Corporation will manufacture Quadopods which are basically enhanced worsens of what was displayed at the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas recently. (Add date and link)

a large number of these are produced when they are parked at neighborhood Quadopod ports which are basically parking lots at the local malls and shopping complexes which are modified into docking platforms for the basic Quadopod.

Consumers will buy special attachment hooks which are fitted over their existing compact cars.

They will also be sold Quadopod transport carpets/cabins which are basically designed like a compact car without the engine transmission and wheels. One can have infinite varieties these cabins based on various designs from various vendors.

Whenever somebody wants to travel they simply look up for an available Quadopod using an application just like how we are using Uber to call for a ride.

This will be transmitted to the nearest available free/fully charged/charged and enough for the designated destination Quadopod, which using the GPS/cell phone signal and coordinates comes and lands on the car/cabinet and join the attachment who can once this mating occurs, though Quadopod will take off and transport the car/cabinet to destination which is designated by the rider.

After dropping off the rider at his or her destination the Quadopod will autonomously fly down to the nearest Quadopod port and dock itself and starts charging itself.

Based on the requirements please Quadopods can be consumer, commercial, military varieties with various differing power and capabilities.

The technology for creating this network is available and commercially feasible provided the above said corporations dropped their competition and came together to cooperate.

The whole power grid for charging the Quadopod fleet will be provided by clean nuclear energy or solar energy.

This will completely eliminate fossil fuel which will reduce/ greenhouse gas emissions altogether.

This will ultimately eliminate roadways and railways. We may still have airlines and airports for a short period of time before somebody comes up with an electric/fusion power/solar powered intercontinental transport ships.
