Part 6/12:
Holzen believes that full autonomy could enable a complete rewrite of the vehicle’s interior and exterior design. When the car handles driving tasks, space can be repurposed. For example, the need for traditional steering wheels and driver controls may diminish, giving rise to new seating arrangements, lounge-like environments, or even modular interiors tailored for leisure, work, or relaxation.
He discusses the possibility of redesigning the vehicle environment so that comfort, safety, and aesthetic appeal become the primary focus. This approach would change not only how vehicles are built but also how people choose and interact with them, potentially leading to radical new forms of mobility.
