The conceptual 'ERKA' autonomous ambulance is imagined for busy urban environments as a vehicle for easily traversing the urban landscape and providing essential care to citizens as required. The medical emergency vehicle features a compact design that is just big enough to fit all of the essential healthcare equipment, staff and the patient. This compactness, however, is essential for the vehicle to get through cramped urban streets, while the 90-degree turning wheels help it to further accommodate the landscape of the city.
The conceptual 'ERKA' autonomous ambulance is the design work of Roman Ignatowski and Maja Bryniarska, and is fitted with a solar panel on the roof for eco-friendly power capturing along with a drone that will fly ahead to find the fastest route according to traffic conditions.
