Detailed Description

Though transportation is the primary function of an automobile, when it finally comes down to making a choice, various factors influence our decision. It is never merely about the car’s performance or its economy; it is about feelings, about aesthetics, the emotions the automobile conveys. Even automobiles require social acceptance to be successful. Regardless of how expensive or cheap the vehicle is, it makes a statement about the owner. Most of the factors mentioned above pertain to styling and design; hence, designers have the responsibility to make the car a success. Automobiles have undergone massive translation in the last five decades. The factors that have influenced this translation range from varying technology to changes in perceptions of people; cultural influences; fashion, to mention a few. This project aims at developing a concept car for the future, bearing in mind, among other things, the role that technology is going to play in the future.
