Daeb - Carpooling-first robotaxi driven highly efficient transportation solution

 ====== Daeb ======

Daeb - pronounced "deb" - nothing special, I just like the short name, similarly to "cab" :)

Motto: Carpooling-first robotaxi driven highly efficient transportation solution.

===== intro =====

Bus, metro and cars transport are obsolete. People want to have the best features of the three, like comfort and speed of car, lack of parking headache and cost of bus or metro,

Robotaxi might sound as the solution, yet it has its own issues. It is very complex system that tries to solve all problems for every possible road and weather conditions. No wonder we are in wait for over a hundred years and counting..

Another issue is carpooling, or rather, lack of it. The robotaxi car is by design point-to-point solution that does not bode well with picking up and dropping off passengers en-route, like bus or metro. As consequence, its efficiency goes down with rising traffic loads.

We need something simple, like elevator or escalator, that is "carpooling" passengers by design and works reliably in closed, predictable space. A network of strategically put travelator-inspired transportation would enable passengers to reach remote places easily.

===== Daeb =====

Daeb is a system of autonomous cars that are purpose built for quick pickup and dropoff and whose purpose is to transport passengers along predefined short route, like a street or around a block. The limited environment would simplify requirements from autonomous car. Neighborhoods might choose to use different transportation means, depending on environment, like self driving scooters or callboats.

It would stop at any place by pressing a button (to exit) or waiving a hand (to pickup). Phone app might "order" empty Daeb car to await passenger outside, just like taxi. It might circulate this way between center and remote parts of the neighborhood, passing predefined doPon places, like a bus route.

The Daeb car might have option to become car for rent on the go. Say someone needs to carry heavy load or citizen with disability to remote place. In this case he might "take over" the Daeb car control, sit at the driver place and drive the car to destination.

Similarly, there will be separate set of likely bigger Daebs traveling between suburbs or to downtown, with even bigger Daeb system participating vehicles (like trains) moving between cities.

The multilevel Daeb architecture enforces resources efficient carpooling. The separate Daeb loops enable to differentiate carriages and frequency, depending on demand.
