AUTONOMOUS CARS, NO WINDSHIELD?
User Experience | Automotive Design
Free of Standards
luxury + autonomous
no vehicle requirements
Removing the driving element in a vehicle removes the human responsibility.
“what will a car even represent then?”
no steering wheel
no windshield
no structural requirements
no blindspots
no responsibility
What happens to the exterior?
100% experiential
By removing the windshield the freedom of exterior expressionism enhances.
rolling sculpture
By combining art and design in a literal sense the opportunity to share a new experience with the surrounding community takes place.
The designer may want to invoke a certain emotional response.
monolithic response
I believe that luxury in the near future will invoke a totality of privacy followed with discovery.
The exterior will act as a shield of privacy yet express one's self with eccitrint taste.
perfomance art
Upon exiting or entering the vehicle the freedom of interactive expressionism extends to an audience.
What happens to the interior?
a parlor
With the removal and responsibility of a driver the interior transforms into a living environment.
Details of this environment may reflect artfacts such as a living room or even a parlor as the user awaits their destination.
transformative environments
As autonomous vehicles become more advanced so do other areas of technology.
Instead of viewing your commute you may travel through a forest, desert, or abstract environment virtually.
