Cadillac Luxe Concept
The Cadillac Luxe Concept is an autonomous concierge vehicle for residents of an upper west side NYC residency. The Luxe is inspired by the iconic architecture of New York, featuring an all glass roof so passengers can look up at the city around them. Residents can reserve the Cadillac Luxe through an app on their smartphone so they will never have to wait on the street for a cab.
Project Duration: Summer 2011 & Fall 2011 (20 Weeks)

Reservation App
A resident of the building can reserve one of the cars from an app on their phone or on the touch pad in their apartment. As the resident is exiting the building the car will be called up from the automated garage. Each car sits on its own platform which not only allows for quick retrieval but it also charges the car via inductive charging.
1/5 Scale Model
1/5 Scale model designed in Autodesk Alias and prototyped using 3D Printed and CNC milled parts. The model was then assembled, sanded, primed and professionally painted.
