A Living Vehicle

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A living vehicle sets forth the ability for a lifestyle not of a static place, but as part of the interstate system built into the American landscape. A living vehicle provides the ability to craft a lifestyle around mobility, and will support the situation of living on the road for extended periods of time with many potential benefits over traditional travel. First and foremost, a living vehicle gives the individual the ability to travel large spans with relative ease. A living vehicle's architecture will also provide the interior environment that supports the necessities and tasks of daily life similar to a house. This enables the individual to complete tasks in their living vehicle, as they traditionally would in their house, with the options available in the living vehicle to self drive and wirelessly charge all while remaining on the road.
