DESIGN KEYWORDS

Solo Living
More and more young people are coming to the city for new opportunities.
Wouldn't it be great
if we can create a space where young people can gather to meet new people and socialize?

Passenger Centered
Autonomous vehicles allow vehicles to be a space that is for entertainment, not just a place where you sit.
Wouldn't it be great
if we can spend time doing something of value inside the car instead of just waiting to get to the destination?

The 3rd Place
As car ownership drops, we can reimagine a vehicle's purpose and space.
Wouldn't it be great
if people could use an autonomous vehicle as a place where they can socialize?
How might we provide a variety of activities with a group of people who has similar interests/hobbies while being on future autonomous vehicles?
DESIGN OBJECTIVES
Captivating
The experience that amazes the users with the new system which has not been existed
Explorative
The experience that makes the users feel like they could explore many different and new activities
Playful
The new experience allows users to do a variety of activities that they enjoy with other people

DESIGN VALIDATION
User Testing

Through user testing, I was able to see where users may encounter problems. Doing them in the earlier phases allowed me to correct these problems constantly and ensure that I was making intuitive flows.


NEXT STEP
Future Consideration
1. Accessibility for handicapped individuals
2. Collaboration with different brands
