Curb side access only for passenger ingress/egress safety. All doors use an automated slider system for minimizing the overall footprint of the vehicle while it is in operation. The driver has full control of the doors from inside the cabin and can open/close door electronically. (thetaxioftomorrow.com)
Access for all, claims Unicab: Wide sliding door access and a winchable ramp plus room to maneuver inside make the design smart. A rear trunk also operates on a slide bar system, to allow luggage to be loaded/unloaded with less effort. (thetaxioftomorrow.com)

The interior is focused on space and usability. Seating configuration is such that it encourages engagement of passengers and driver, but allows for privacy for both passengers and driver. (thetaxioftomorrow.com)
