Abstract:
A vehicle has a rotation-symmetrical, particularly spherical housing which is disposed about a rotational axis and has a convex drive and running surface. The housing is composed at least partially of transparent material, and has at least one door for at least one person to enter and exit. In the interior of the housing there is a seat for the at least one person, a drive for rotating the housing, and a device for control purposes. Bearings are provided in the rotational axis of the housing for rotatably mounting a lower seat structure receiving the seat. The drive is disposed on the lower seat structure and connected thereto. In order to improve the handling characteristics of such a vehicle, the seat is disposed displaceably laterally with respect to the lower seat structure.
