In 2013, The World Economic Forum published the "Connected World Report." The document outlines four scenarios in travel and transportation for 2025. In one scenario, "New Balance: A New (Green) Rhythm to Life" it reads:

"Antonio does not own a car...

A swam car, a driverless e-vehicle... has been scheduled to pick him up. Just before his swarm car arrives at the flat, it stops at Patisserie, Antonio's favorite pastry shop, where a barista places a chocolate croissant and cappuccino on a rack... billing the order to Antonio's account.

The car is soon waiting at the curb with his light breakfast and music tuned to his favorite satellite jazz station."

In 2006, architect and urban designer Mitchell Joachim, co-founder of Terreform One, developed the Stackable Car for MIT Media Lab Smart Cities Group project, City Car.

Sponsored by General Motors, these shared-use, omnidirectional, rechargeable swarms of personal mobility vehicles would fold and stack cars like shopping carts.

According to CEO Elon Musk, Tesla will reveal its Robotaxi on August 8.
