He loved the freedom, but hated the broader experience. “The products on the market are really bad,” he says. “They're clunky to use.” Yang had worked on successive generations of the iPhone at Apple and later at self-driving vehicle companies Zoox and Cruise. He thought there was a better way, so he made it. The Pebble Flow is a sleek, all-electric, semi-autonomous travel trailer. Inside, modern Scandinavian design feels like an upscale hotel, complete with an indoor/outdoor induction cooktop, full size refrigerator, and bathroom walls that can be changed from opaque to transparent for a feeling of more space. The 45kWh battery stores 3.5 times the energy of a Tesla power wall. That helps power the iPad from which drivers can control things like autostabilization and hitching the trailer to a vehicle. **Buy Now:** Pebble Flow on [Pebble Life](https://fave.co/4eQ5F5Y "undefined") These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through affiliate links at no additional cost to the purchaser. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094827/pebble-flow/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094827/pebble-flow/"},"headline":"Pebble Flow: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024","datePublished":"2024-10-30T11:04:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T11:54:32.565Z","description":"Find out why Pebble Flow is one of the best inventions of 2024","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094827/pebble-flow/","keywords":["Tech","E-Commerce","list","franchise","Magazine","best inventions"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt32f9dcadae278317/698a8a29e6e84a150e2b80f1/Pebble-Flow-best-inventions-2.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Chris Stokel-Walker","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/chris-stokel-walker/"}],"creator":"Chris Stokel-Walker","articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt32f9dcadae278317/698a8a29e6e84a150e2b80f1/Pebble-Flow-best-inventions-2.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094827/pebble-flow/","name":"Pebble Flow: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Behind the Scenes of TIME's Best Inventions of 2024 Cover","description":"Find out why Pebble Flow is one of the best inventions of 2024","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/yMX6DOaA/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-10-28T19:20:17.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/yMX6DOaA.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094827/pebble-flow/","duration":"PT30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094827/pebble-flow/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
