In Brazil, hammock sleeping has been a way of life for hundreds of years. Hammocks became an incredibly popular and practical sleeping option because being suspended off the ground provided safety from disease transmission, insect stings, and animal bites during the night. Apart from its ease of use, Brazilians consider hammocks as a part of their culture and continue using it even today. In 16th century, before it got it’s name, European sailors called it “The Brazilian bed”. For the challenging exterior that folds along the width, the interior also folds along with it.

For Brazilians, bright clothes represent an extension of personality. The bright and contrasting colors and elaborate costumes worn during Carnival reflect this passion. These aspects of fashion have tremendous influences on their relationships, experiences, behaviors, and self-image.

Introduction of flexible materials like Nanomorphic polymer material leads to new possibilities and opportunities. Even today companies started using flexible polymers in their production products like the flexible phone. 15-20 years from now, the application will become advanced and can be used for the folding system in the project.

These technologies could be more evolved in large scale manufacturing and used for the folding system in the project

The vehicles could be hired from an web based application and there will be GAC hubs in many places in the city from the user can hire the vehicle right away.
