Two feet longer than the Cadillac Escalade
Audi completed its luxury concept car triptych with the unveiling of the Urbansphere, a massive, fully autonomous people mover that somehow manages to be entirely too large for the streets it’s designed to travel.
The vehicle’s dimensions are certainly impressive from a clinical standpoint: 5.51 meters long, 2.01 meters wide, and 1.78 meters high. But the idea of this land yacht steering itself through a pedestrian-and-cyclist-dense environment is enough to make even the most grizzled urban dweller break out in a cold sweat.
Traffic, of course, is a problem that seems to be getting worse and worse thanks to the swollen SUVs and trucks that are clogging the streets in ever-increasing numbers. At its core, traffic is a geometry problem; the vehicles get larger and larger, while the roads stay more or less the same size. Congestion becomes unavoidable.
