The idea of a hotel room on wheels might sound like a concept from the latest science fiction blockbuster.
But it could soon become a reality, if the latest concept is anything to go by.
Researchers from Xoio aim to make long, boring car journeys a thing of the past with the 'Swift Pod'.
The futuristic concept vehicle features a large sleeping pod where two travellers can snooze as they're chauffeured on their journey.

The vehicle features a futuristic triangular design.

Two single beds offer sleeping space for two travellers.

Passengers could order a vehicle online, inputting their desired destination and time.
