The Multi Modal Transport Pod (MMTP) is a self contained "office" pod designed to allow two or more people to travel in a secure, climate controlled space - most notably within the High Speed Carrier Drone (HSCD) as part of the "String City" concept. It will be the fully serviced, private, secure, weatherproof, room space that will allow long road trips to be enduarble - as well as provide an intellegent drone service that can be sent off to park and retrieved when required. It can also serve as a private communications hub on out of town trips in any location, anytime, without reservations. If no power service is available - a rooftop solar panel will provide a modest battery recharge and limited hvac output if the R20 insulation proves insuffucient..
