Abstract
A foldable vehicle may include a chassis comprising a static support, a dynamic chassis frame that includes at least two substantially opposite frame parts and a folding mechanism for decreasing or increasing a distance between the at least two substantially opposite frame parts across a lateral axis of the vehicle between a folded state and an unfolded state; and a controller to control the folding mechanism.
Claims3
A method for controlling folding and unfolding of a foldable vehicle using a controller, the method comprising:
- using the controller, receiving a folding or unfolding command;
- using the controller, obtaining sensed data from one or more sensors located on the vehicle for sensing parameters associated with assessing risk to the vehicle;
- using the controller, assessing the risk;
- using the controller, checking whether the risk is below a threshold;
- using the controller, commencing the folding or unfolding if the risk is below a threshold;
- using the controller, checking whether the folding or unfolding is complete;
- and
- if the folding or unfolding is not complete, obtaining sensed data from the one or more sensors, assessing the risk and checking whether the risk is below a threshold until the folding or unfolding is complete.
