Example

[0022]FIG. 1 shows a general side view of vehicle's (1) four wheels (2) mounted on a chassis (3). The driver's seat (40) in front of a steering wheel (60). A cabin (10) of oblong shape with a vertical axial symmetry surrounding the driver like a bubble, the seat (40), the driving commands, commands of the cabin opening, the steering wheel (60). FIGS. 2a and 2b show a front view of the vehicle in two different positions of the vehicle which show how the cabin hood curves, shaping the cabin opening (11) whose position is adaptable like explained in FIGS. 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b. The cabin opening (11) takes almost the entire height of the cabin (10) and almost the third of the cabin periphery. The cabin opening shape (11) matches the seat shape (40) so that the back of the seat block the cabin opening (11) in case where the cabin opening (11) is postured in front of the back seat (40) as showed in FIG. 2a viewed from the vehicle back, or FIG. 3a, viewed from the top. FIGS. 2b, a side view, and
