Compressing the zoox logo makes the design feel fun yet familiar for riders, and communicates the small scale of the vehicle.
How do riders balance connection with another rider, and privacy when they need it?
Because this is designed for the bike lane at low speeds, the scale shows its unintrusive scale in public.

Our Final Idea for Zoox BLOOM..

Maintaining key zoox technology, & adapting it in a playful way as bee antenna.

Electronically adjust tint levels to all windows of BLOOM. Allows flexibility in a public transportation setting, and can be reset for each new rider.
