This autonomous taxi boat could turn urban rivers into roads
Briefly

Orb, the omni-robotic boat, is an autonomous podlike watercraft with room for six passengers, designed for dense cities to enhance water-based travel accessibility.
The idea for the Orb concept arose from observing congestion in dense cities like London, contrasting it with underutilized urban waterways like the Thames River.
Neil Baron, lead designer at Seymourpowell, highlights the need for a more flexible, agile, and accessible water-based transportation solution, like the Orb, for urban areas.
Seymourpowell leverages its experience in transportation design to create the Orb, aiming to integrate the latest transportation concepts into urban waterways for enhanced city living.
