Detailed Description

Human evolution, technological advancements, and our environment play a huge role in driving one’s design inventions in the field of mobility. Using these three factors and breaking them down further into varied subcategories, namely 19 factors, for the case of this project, post-2000, the developments and advancements that have happened were studied and analysed. This includes a wide variety of inventions and innovations, right from textile levels all the way to nanotechnological levels. For instance, one of the most evident changes happening in the recent past is the onslaught of electric-powered vehicles. We can see here that although these are primarily to target the issues of rising population and better economic output, they have also resulted in a new aspect of looking at vehicles because of the absence of a gasoline powertrain. Hence, one innovation can be connected to multiple factors.
