As we move forward with the next phase, we are pleased to announce that Micro-AV Social Purpose Corporation has filed for a patent on the MilliPod.

Micro-AV filed a patent today on the MilliPod, a city road train of 2-person, electric, fully automated microvehicles. The MilliPod services bus routes, with the lead vehicle human-driven. Passenger pods couple onto the MilliPod as it passes bus stops without stopping, thus providing faster trips but using 10 times less energy. Details will be presented at the 5th EAI International Conference on Intelligent Transport Systems later this month in Lisbon, Portugal.
