One of the primary functions of larger vehicles is to carry
smaller vehicles nested inside them. These will take a variety of forms
depending on speed, capacity, cargo, and A-Way characteristics. Here is a
sketch of such a vehicle.
The Mobility Platforms are matched to corresponding A-Ways
with appropriate suspension, for example wheels, propulsion, power, communications
and other services.
The Container is designed to provide appropriate services to
the contents, for example, refrigeration for foods, or comfort for people.
The Container and Mobility Platform connect to each other
using one of the standard interfaces, providing a solid mechanical connection,
and passing services, such as power. We show a variety of vehicles nested
inside, from Personal Mobility Vehicles to large Containers to smaller
Containers nested inside the large Containers.
