To go beyond conventional concepts of automotive transport is not easy, but the advent of autonomous driving is exerting an increasingly more evident influence in every aspect of design in this industry, opening new vistas in terms of styling and conceptual freedom.<\/p>\n

This controversial issue, the subject of heated debate among professionals of the world\u2019s biggest carmakers, was tackled by the students of the seventh edition of the Master\u2019s course in Transportation & Automobile Design at the Milan Polytechnic Design School in a collaborative initiative with the Volkswagen Group.<\/p>\n

The brief \u201cAutonomous drive cars for inner and inter city connections\u201d assigned by professionals from Audi and Volkswagen (the two brands involved in the project) in accordance with the directors of the Master\u2019s course, gave the young designers \u2013 grouped into four teams \u2013 the chance to push the boundary between the potential for innovation and the critical limitations of this new transportation frontier.<\/p>\n

Special vents and speakers emanate scents and sounds to recreate the surrounding environment, while an ingenious interactive surface, inspired by the \u201cMegafaces\u201d installation created by Asif Khan for the Sochi games, uses tiny hydraulic pistons to generate tactile replicas of monuments encountered during the journey. Every aspect is intended to make the user feel at home, from the wooden panels surrounding the car and the Braille instructions for accessing the car to the two vis-\u00e0-vis seats in the cabin with a space in front for guide dogs.<\/p>\n<\/div>
