Shape-changing interior for future mobility

The car industry is facing a sustainability challenge. Car emissions largely contribute to air pollution, as seen in the current ‘stikstofcrisis’ in the Netherlands. Research suggests that shared mobility has a positive influence on the environment. Several user barriers to sharing a car with strangers were found.

In this explorative project, the commuters were involved. What features do shared autonomous vehicles need to make them attractive? The designed vision proposes a co-creative shape-changing car interior. It allows the passengers to adapt specific standardized shapes and aims to improve their comfort and social situation.
