As Sciendo reports, this idea was born when Bing thought that the small size of a motorcycle would not prevent this mode from carrying a small number of passengers.
Starting from this crazy idea, Bing then created the Sirocco, a bus that has 6 parallel wheels with an elongated and closed design.
Not only is the design unique, but this bus also installs several tools that support passenger safety such as Lit Motors C-1 technology which is also installed on Honda Riding Assist and BMW Motorrad Vision.
With the addition of technology, the bus will not fall over when it stops even if passengers do not put their feet down.
The gyroscopic technology which is also installed in this mode will allow the vehicle to remain balanced even if the condition of the passengers inside is unbalanced.
With a parallel wheel system, Siroco can also go fast. In addition, the Sirocco can turn like a motorcycle, so in addition to being faster, it does not require much space on the road and can save more energy thanks to its aerodynamic shape.
The suspension system adopted even in this mode allows the Sirocco to traverse rough or smooth terrain.
For the seating problem, Sirocco has chosen seats that extend to the sides, as you can see on the TransJakarta Bus and KRL.
Inside this bus there is also an on-board computer which can display precise calculations of estimated routes, turbulence acceleration and vibrations generated by the Sirocco.
This bus is controlled by an autopilot system, in other words this mode is an unmanned bus. Another technology installed on this bus is air conditioning which can adjust the temperature inside the bus to that outside the bus.
There is also a built-in LCD screen near the window glass that plays online streaming videos and movies. The screen is also programmed to show location information and weather forecasts etc.
