Futuristic technological concepts are often met with criticism as robotic and unwelcoming, machine-like designs make the devices difficult for some to trust -- which is why Jonny Culkin's new autonomous transport car was designed with consumer pleasure in mind, being described as "technology with a friendly face."
These cars were designed to help commuters enjoy their journey, offering a more visually engaging alternative, that helps individuals better connect with their surroundings. The cars will feature large windows and a cozy interior complete with light wood detailing. The entire design was crafted to ensure passengers feel comfortable with the new autonomous technology, as according to Culkin, "Autonomy and electrification offer the chance to create new types of transport and experiences; there hasn't been such a technological shift since we first went from horses to cars."
