Abstract:
The product “car” as it is known since more than
100 years is going to change dramatically over the coming
decades. Autonomous vehicles will enable an entirely new
travelling experience. Accordingly, the interior concepts and
equipment of vehicles are set to shift from a driver-oriented to a
“quality of time”-oriented design. In a survey among 2,500
consumers from five different countries (CN, FR, GER, JP, US),
this study examines five relevant use cases for autonomous
individual transportation and identifies the desired car features
correspondingly. The results indicate that “Sleeping & Relaxing”
is the most accepted use case, and that a convenient seating/lying
position and smooth driving dynamics are seen as key features.
