Kids : i want you to understand how 'ai' can be really used..
to fast track ideas...
for eg : designing a 1 person car... seems so simple
what would be suitable dimensions for a 1 person car - 70 kg, max speed 120 km ph with air travel luggage
For a one-person car designed for a 70 kg occupant and air travel luggage, with a top speed of 120 km/h, the dimensions should prioritize a balance of compactness, stability, and cargo space. Since this is a specialized vehicle, it wouldn't be as large as a typical compact car, but it would need to be bigger than a microcar.
Overall Dimensions
Length: Approximately 2.5 to 3.5 meters (8.2 to 11.5 feet). This length is sufficient for a single passenger and a dedicated luggage compartment while keeping the vehicle nimble.
Width: Approximately 1.2 to 1.5 meters (3.9 to 4.9 feet). A narrower width improves maneuverability and reduces aerodynamic drag, which is crucial for achieving the 120 km/h top speed with a smaller engine. It also makes the car easier to park.
Height: Around 1.3 to 1.6 meters (4.3 to 5.2 feet). This height allows for a comfortable seating position for the occupant and adequate headroom. A lower profile would improve aerodynamics but might compromise comfort.
Luggage Compartment
Air travel luggage typically refers to carry-on and checked bags. A carry-on bag is generally about 56 x 45 x 25 cm (22 x 18 x 10 inches), while a larger checked bag could be around 76 x 51 x 32 cm (30 x 20 x 12.5 inches).
To accommodate a typical amount of luggage for one person (e.g., one carry-on and one checked bag), the car would need a boot space of at least 150-200 liters. This can be achieved with a small, dedicated trunk or a luggage area behind the single seat.
Weight and Performance
The car's overall weight is critical for a 120 km/h top speed. An empty car weighing much more than 400-600 kg would likely require a more powerful engine, adding to the weight and complexity. The 70 kg occupant and their luggage (roughly 20-30 kg) would bring the total weight to around 500-700 kg, which is manageable for a small, efficient powertrain to reach the desired speed.
further thoughts...
then : we can ask about designing the lattice stucture which allows max crash barrier ..
use steel bars : to makey a good 1 person car...
...becomes real with scrapes : get some bike 250 cc engine..
and hack along..
seems cheap too : just welding and maybe even electric motor?
there are 2 ideas at play here : make cars a 'compete' thing..
or make car : a 'meh' thing...
i am bout setting a bar...
most cars : driven by 1 person : loss of parking efficiency..and freedom.
a single person car : can be modular : tuggable, parkable, stackable.
and honestly : available ..
as self driving or disposable cars..
the hole driving to anywhere : becomes quite disposable.
