Office Cubicle for the Road Saves Precious Commuting Time

Does this model come with a toilet? I mean if you're going for efficiency go all the way don't half ass it. I also need a mini-fridge and a kegerator to assist in keeping me calm.

Is your job that f'ing important... really?

Why not just get up and walk away from your desk.

So, what's it going to take for me to put you in this cubicle today?

If two of these were to collide at 25 mph, there would be serious damage. Unstable design, no safety features, horrible visibility, and it's not actually usable as a workspace. In fact, the whole idea of taking your time and being calmed is negated by being in a tiny, cramped space with no visibility. It would be more calm if you could see and appreciate the world as you moved through it.

WTF!!!!

Yeah, you'd be all calm and unflustered when you got fired for being 3 hours late to the meeting.

Concept FAIL.

As if the morons waling down the street emailing and walking into people was not irritating enough, now I can be run over by this ridiculous vehicle because the driver is too busy updating his Outlook calender to look where he is driving.

CJ Disaffected

Better idea.....mini trams with individual cars that fit like 4-6 people. and go about 15 mph with a table in the center. The only reason you would use those if you are sick/lazy/tired/work to do/ or simply don't want to walk. But in any case, it's a better idea for campus travel than a rolling box where people can stare at you while your claustrophobia is kicking in. FAIL

Wow... must say I expected something much cooler than this. Where would I plug my computer in at? Damn this sucks.

I predict "Slow Car Tipping" will be the next big thing. Seriously. How vulnerable is this moron? I think people SHOULD try to tip this idiot every chance they get.

Bill Butler

Wow. Worst idea ever. The 25mph top speed is an interesting concept, but a "mobile office" that has no workspace, that you still have to control manually, demanding attention to the road, and has NO REAR OR PERIPHERAL VIEW is a complete waste of time. How did this even make it on giz?

It's not bad enough that we have blackberry's and iphones following us around, causing us to be productive all the time?
Nope, we need to be sitting at a portable office.

wouldn't that be a little chilly on the toes as you glided to work...say, in Alaska during the winter months?

Seriously, do people need to stay productive every minute of the day? Can't they just relax at an airport while waiting for the plane?

The speed at which things happen in the modern society scares me sometimes...

correction after this article: was "one of the Netherlands' most respected high-end home furniture designers"

teeheehee

I think the title 'respected' is going to be taken away from him after this monstrosity.

@jdale: You'd probably get a pen/pencil in the eye with any luck as well. Serves you right for letting your employer do that to you.

DigitalPasture

Secondly... If I saw that rolling down the street I'd be hard pressed NOT to push it over. Malicious, yes... But That's the kind of guy I am.

DigitalPasture

@Maori_Yelir: Going?!

It's already done. You have to insult people in REAL TIME.

@CJ Disaffected: I am guilty of this. I nearly smacked faces with this hot chick in Brooklyn who was coincidentally doing the same thing.

@met2art: Is this a possible solution to the obesity epidemic?

"You know Charles...if we made the casing spherical, we could make the receiving systems curve around the walls..."

"Cerebro sans heavy headache?"

"Precisely my friend. Precisely."

@Dr. Evil Genius: Yes, but the clerk at the unemployment office has one of these for a desk, so you need to keep up while you wait in line, ok?

I work out of a cubicle and a server room already. Thank god I can remote in so I'll never have to deal with a stupid contraption like this.

DigitalPasture

@driftwolf: Unless the meeting was.... a CONVOY!!

@Jux: Well, I definitely need an office with a window, that's for damn sure.

@SimplyBlue: A Hummer in the office? Hmmm...

Epic design flaw...

Whack to the shins! At least cover the legs.

FFS. Clock out and have a life. Thats an order.

hello... hey... HEY! I'm feeling a little sick now from all the wobbling, can you let me out now? ...is anyone out there?

Rzah

@DustyButtâ„¢: Why not get up and send out your resume to get away from this place?

You have failed at life if your office has the ability to keep you in it's pocket.

We have Pocket PCs for a reason.

This contraption is a cry for a real life. I would be fantasizing about the unemployment line if my desk was replaced with this.

So how are you supposed to work and drive this thing at the same time? And wouldn't be faster to drive to work in a normal car and just work from there than to go to work super slow in this??

fcheema

Even this concept was to become a reality, the problem is the other idiots on the road that you need to worry about. I'd like a see a Hummer v/s Slow Car video please.

This guy is a total socialist. He says that people aren't interested in amassing a collection of items that they themselves own, they would rather share. For a blog about tech, this is the exact opposite of what is believed.

Kev50027

The guys name is JURGEN. Cmon' ...this is a joke right? Right?... σ^σ

@DigitalPasture: Solar power...brilliant. If you want to be really pro-earth thinking there could be a few cars fitted with an exercise bike/device that could assist in powering the train?..Who knows...but I'm not about to roll around in a moving cubicle. F THAT

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

How 'bout no, you crazy Dutch bastard?

@CommentingpointlesslyisMeh: I saw a test of something like that on TV the other day. They wanted it as an alternative to trains in more rural areas. Seemed like one of those great ideas that would never be used.

I literally live on an island congested with cars (people trying to get to the beach). I'd love a small commute train to cart those morons around. Since I'm in FL, it could also be solar powered. Win, win (even a win for me so I don't have to deal with those idiots anymore).

DigitalPasture

@jthh: Why not a whole aeroponic-micro-grow-op?

@Kev50027: You have just insulted socialists everywhere, and not for the reason you meant to.

Ok, just watched the video. Is this a joke? I mean WTF!? It looks like something out of a bad 70's sci-fi film. F-f-f-f-f-Fail.

jthh

@dimsum4u: add a joint and I'd be calm. Talk about hot boxing.

jthh

haha It's not like you could actually do any office work while you're driving around. Texting and driving is hard enough. Could you imagine trying to fill out some papers while going 25mph on a scooter?

Plus, I think it's useless, since you have to have someone lock you in, and then unlock it when you're done. I'd freak out.

Chris

If riding a scooter doesn't already make you feel like a tool, this certainly will!

ddaq89

Could call it the Steve, er, carrel...

There are some strange people in this world.

Snapper

I don't understand......

MMBman7171

I have just one thing to say about this idea - DER!
