Description
Autonomous Road Vehicles: A Comprehensive Overview This book provides a thorough examination of the past, present and future of autonomous road vehicles. It explores key historical developments in design and the primary explorations of design possibilities from science fiction. The first section delves into the history of autonomous road vehicle design, drawing on significant test vehicles from history to illustrate their significance in the evolution of the field. The second part introduces five popular speculative approaches used by designers, highlighting major user-facing challenges that affect ideation, product design, service design and business modelling. In the final section, science fiction prototyping is identified as the most suitable approach for autonomous road vehicle application, with examples of sixteen prototypes covering a range of physical, psychological, sociological and ethical design challenges. This book serves as an accessible guide for design practitioners and students interested in automotive design, human-centred design, industrial design and technology.
