Lance King is one of them.He is a CEO of Stream It, a developed company for artificial intelligence and software, and is currently focusing on the development and manufacturing of kits that turn Cybertrack into a small house.
It's a true story.Technology companies are creating a "cyberlandRs" that turns pickup trucks into camper cars.
The production of Cybertrack, which has been controversial, seems to have been postponed from 2021 to 2022.But King tells Insider that Stream It can't stop "strengthening everything".
King first came up with this idea when he booked Cybertrack and realized that existing camper trailers did not fit this futuristic truck body.
The RV industry says, "I haven't done innovative things for the last 50 years.""In this industry, there is no genius inspiration and new RVs will be created, so I thought," Who can do it? "
King says that the answer is a stream -it team
"I can only think of my company," says King."We can develop software and handle artificial intelligence. And it's extremely creative. I wanted to be able to experience the Tesla on RV."
King believes that "true Tesla -level RV" requires artificial intelligence and powerful software for annual updates, just like other Tesla vehicles.
When the new Corona's pandemic began, there was a possibility that employees had to be dismissed, but King decided to concentrate on the team on the cyberlander design.
Until I worked on this project, the company had never worked on RV, but many of the team members enjoyed traveling and camping with camper cars.
King says that lack of RV -related work experience is actually a "great strength".
"If Tesla was in the automotive industry, he wouldn't have developed a new car," says King."Just entering the industry will change your field of view. We believe that we had no experience in the RV industry to make a new and unique product."
At the moment, the results of investment are out
As soon as it was announced in early April 2021, Cyberlander quickly gained popularity.
The goal was to get 100 to 200 interests in the first month to prove the success in the market.However, it is said that 1000 people actually decided to purchase.
Stream It announced on December 8, 2021 that Cyberlander's reservation order had already reached more than $ 100 million (about 11 billion yen), and Insider confirmed it.

The popularity of cyberlanders is not surprising
This is because the two trends, a camper and an electric pickup truck, are growing significantly in the automotive industry recently, because cyberlanders have incorporated the two elements.
Now, let's take a closer look at a small house that moves about $ 50,000.Continue from storage type stairs to internal living area, bed, and bathroom
When not in use, the entire unit can be stored in the cyber truck bed.It's like a camper that pops up
First, let's look at the kitchen.All necessities are available, and they use the latest technology.For example, a smart faucet that can be operated by audio, a refrigerator, a cook with a built -in porcelain counter, a sink with a cutting board and a dried rack.
The living area right next to the kitchen has a 32 -inch smart TV with a lighting and temperature control function that can be operated with audio and smartphones, and removable sheets, streaming services such as Netflix and Apple TV+.Be
This space can also be used as an office.The TV can be used as a second monitor, and the foldable table can be used as a desk.In addition, the cyberlander also has a starlink satellite antenna, so you can connect to the Internet.
The living room is also a bedroom.If you spread the seat, it will change to almost a queen -sized bed
There is also a space under the bed where one adult or two children can sleep
This small house has a variety of facilities, including floor heating, shower, wash basin, bathroom equipped with toilets, and smart glass that can block the gaze from the outside and protect privacy.

In order to supply power to these facilities, cyberlanders use 500 watts solar panels in addition to truck batteries.
Since the weight of the cyberlander is about 540 kilograms, Stream It is predicted that it is inevitable that the cruising range will be shortened within a range of 5 %.
When the cyberlander is fully expanded, it depends on the final size of the cyber truck, but the height is probably about 3.About 4 meters
It is difficult to design a campper based on a car that has not been produced yet, but King believes that Cybertrack's design will not change significantly from the beginning.
In addition, rendering images have already been created that accurately reproduces the size of the cyberlander, so that the designer can easily change the size of the cyberlander according to the final cyber track size.
