Problem: Loss of Privacy & Enjoyment

  • Daily life and travel feel stressful and impersonal.

  • Public transport and city environments are crowded;

    travel time is often wasted.

  • People lack privacy during commutes and can’t easily

    relax or enjoy themselves while moving.

  • There is growing demand for a quiet, comfortable,

    and enjoyable personal space, even when on the go.

  1. Lack of personal space

Urban living spaces continue to shrink, and privacy is becoming increasingly limited not only at home, but also while moving through the city. As a result, commuting time becomes mentally exhausting rather than restorative


  1. Urban stress factors

Traffic congestion, constant noise, visual overload, and reduced privacy create layered stress throughout daily travel.
These environmental pressures accumulate, turning even short journeys into emotionally draining experiences.

  1. Digital paradox

While vehicles and cities are becoming more connected and data-driven, human comfort has not evolved at the same pace. More screens, notifications, and automated systems often lead to cognitive overload rather than clarity or calm.

Problem statement

1

Urban Challenge

  • Decreasing living and personal space per person in cities.

  • Leads to privacy loss, information overload, noise, and emotional exhaustion

2

Rise of Autonomous + AI powered shared taxis

  • Makes “personalized space” more important than ever.



  • Shared taxis can offer a private environment, allowing people to work, relax, meet, or practice self-care on the move.

3

Growing Demand
for Privacy & Personalization

  • Smart city and AI mobility expansion blurs the boundary between public and private spaces

  • Increasing dissatisfaction with lack of privacy and personalization in urban life

As cities become increasingly crowded and personal space declines by 2050, current data and trends indicate that ensuring privacy and offering personalized mobility solutions will become essential for urban life.

The Need for Personalized Mobility

Our vision

What is our vision

What is our vision

At Orbi, we envision future mobility as more than transportation.
In an increasingly crowded, fast-moving city, we believe people need a space that moves with them, not against them.

Flow

FLOW describes a state of effortless movement.


Orbi syncs with your routine, preferences, and context to create a continuous, immersive experience where transitions feel natural and time feels uninterrupted.


With FLOW, commuting becomes part of your life rhythm, not a disruption.

Cocoon

Orbi creates a protective personal shell within shared mobility.


The vehicle becomes a private sanctuary, shielding users from noise, visual distraction, and social pressure, so they can rest, focus, or simply exist comfortably while moving through the city.


COCOON is about emotional safety, privacy, and comfort, even in a shared environment.

Shift

Orbi is not a fixed experience. It transforms with your needs.


Whether you are working, resting, or seeking entertainment, the interior, interface, and atmosphere dynamically shift to support your current state.


SHIFT represents flexibility: mobility that responds to changing moods, activities, and moments throughout the day.

Brainstorming

Find calm in your own orbit.

A moving cocoon that protects your rhythm and senses your emotions. Orbi isolates you from the chaos, so you can think, breathe, and just be.

Stay in flow. Stay in orbit.

Orbi syncs with your life, your time, your sound and your pace. A seamless connection between you and your world in motion.

Your orbit, always in motion.

Orbi transforms with you work, rest, or create.

Seats shift, lights respond, and the space evolves

around your rhythm.
