Sketch | Description |
---|
| Handle Ideas - Top Handle → Handle is attached to the top of the car (preferably the chassis or a sturdy part of the car that can take the stress)
Concerns / Questions - Can we attach anything to the chassis?
- What are the most structurally stable parts of the interior?
|
| Step Ideas - External Step (as simple as a wooden plank / brick) → The extra step will help shrink the size of the gap users need to step over to enter the car
- Built-In Step → MSXII has a flat piece below the door that looks like a step but is not sturdy enough. Are there possibilities for MSXIV to have a sturdier step that can withstand at least half a persons' weight?
Concerns / Questions - Will there be a flat piece below the door of MSXIV?
|
| Adjustable Steering Wheel - Change Angle → Users can move the steering wheel upwards when not in use so that it is not in the way when they are climbing in/out of the car. In the mockup, the steering wheel juts out very far and upon entering/exiting, the driver makes physical contact with it
Concerns - Can the angle of the steering wheel be adjusted or only the length?
- Will this affect the Chassis/steering design from a mechanical/dynamics standpoint (believe the dynamics team worked on Steering)
|
| Seat that can extend some length out of the car for better egress. Perhaps using the same adjustment mechanism that moves seats forward/backward in normal cars but designed for lateral movement. seat cushion slides out instead of whole seat Concerns - may have to build into chassis
|
| Rotating seat cushion - simple solution to implement since the whole set does not need to rotate

Image Added | Handle on roof, same as what regular cars have. Con: may not be able to secure properly to ceiling |
