题目内容:
City Transformer,a four-year-old company based outside Tel Aviv,Israel,is ready to shake up the auto industry with their invention.
So what is it that they’ve created?A car that actually folds while you’re driving.It’s a neat trick,sure.Perhaps something you’d see in a superhero movie.But it actually serves a practical purpose.With more people choosing to live in urban environments,space can be tight.Picture yourself pulling up to a tiny parking space that’s only big enough for a motorcycle.No problem.Hit the button,and your car shrinks to fit into the space.
The car,which is available for pre-order now,is a case study in clean design.It contains only 1,000 parts,compared to the industry standard of about 20,000 in a regular car.It’s all electric,and doesn’t run on gas,causing no pollution.It’s autonomous-ready,which means that one day it will be able to drive itself.
City Transformer is considering a company of foldable cars positioned all across the globe.People who own membership of the car rental company can rent one of the cars wherever they are.What’s more,when you get into any of the cars,it will instantly recognize you and adjust the seats,temperature and music to your favorite settings.
Asaf Formoza,the company’s founder,believes it’s at the right place,at the right time.“It's very important for us to be in Israel,because we have more than 400 companies here just for the automotive departments,”he explained.“And we can take some of their proven technologies and adopt them to our car.”
“To bring something like that as a solution for cities when so many people around the world are stuck in traffic jams,this is going to be something that I think can really change the experience of drivers,”said project manager Itamar Meridor.
