the entire transportation and automobile industry can be more or less inspiring from repackaged electric motorcycles: "today's modification will be the product of tomorrow, and it will turn into a sustainable and sustainable relationship between industry, people and business now."
motorcycles have many modifications and possibilities, and frog's research suggests that perhaps it can be equipped with a device that supports investment financing or first aid,
we are now in a transitional phase from "driving" to "travel"
in the conversation with the curiosity daily, Rainer Wessler and we explored the most hot topics in the future transportation field, unmanned vehicles (and autopilot). From automobile manufacturers to Internet Co and chip companies, all kinds of attempts have been made for this new type of vehicle. Wessler, as a designer, is both a participant in the car industry and a spectator. He believes that before a car is put into production and part of our daily life, the most important problem is "trust" and the trust of a tool.
he gave an example of Volvo automatic parking accident. In May 2015, a video of automatic parking accident occurred on Volvo XC60 was circulated on the Internet. The car is reversing to a parking space, perhaps testing Volvo's automatic braking safety system. There were a few people facing the station at that time. This car is controlled by a software to reverse the car automatically. When the car is approaching to people, people have time to avoid it, but they never move. But the car did not stop at a certain point, but knocked down the people.
"it's strange, isn't it?" People just stood there watching it make it happen. He fully trusted the software and thought the car would stop. The problem is that the software doesn't stop the car, and more seriously, the software has this function and it knows how to stop the car, but it doesn't start / activate.
in Wessler, this happens, and we should discuss not only that the software and the car need to be improved, or how the car company maintains its reputation, but also that we need to educate people when to believe when to believe, what responsibility is to be borne by them and nothing. Yes. A mechanism should be set up to deal with these possible accidents.
if you look at an unmanned vehicle from the point of view of ownership (in the abstract sense, it also means the control of the car), the driver will first have to go through a stage, get used to "go to the hands", learn to trust his own car, and no longer equate itself with the car's "master". Designers need to consider: "how do I make the driver believe that the vehicle will drive automatically, as well as the driver, or even better than a person?"
there are many unmanned cars in the streets in the future, and we can finally use urban resources and space more freely and effectively - this is a good vision for many people. But at least now, in addition to "how to supervise the unmanned vehicle" "how to guarantee the privacy and safety of users", "how to define the responsibility of the accident" should be discussed again, like "trust" such a commendatory word, behind the hidden worries.
