# Bold Inventor Releases Futuristic Concept of a Self-Driving Apartment

![Default Futurism featured image](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Futurism-Filler-Image.jpg>)

Canadian innovator Charles Bombardier and his company, [Imaginactive](<http://imaginactive.org/>), are at it again. Recently, they released their wild idea of building Solar Express, a hypothetical space train that never stops and will transport people and cargo between celestial bodies at 1% the speed of light.

And now, Bombardier, in collaboration with Ashish Thulkar, a vehicle designer at the Indian Institute of Science, has presented yet another futuristic idea: self-driving apartment rooms—that's not a typo for [self-driving cars](<https://futurism.com/uber-launching-its-self-driving-cars-this-month>), we're really talking about apartments.

This hypothetical autonomous room, named Tridika, can be driven like a car, and attached to an apartment as an additional room. They envision it working on magnets instead of wheels.

It would, however, require buildings to be equipped to accommodate it using a ramp (like an elevator) that would lift it and allow it to attach to your floor in a condominium building.

[Imaginactive](<http://imaginactive.org/about-us/>), seems to live on a motto we can all relate to: dream now, figure out details later. And by the way, if you think you’re as much of a dreamer as Bombardier and his peers, maybe you should give your idea a go through [their website](<http://imaginactive.ca/en/suggestions/>). Perhaps you too can unburden yourself from the societal constraints of budgets or even physical possibility.
