NOMIC
"Check in And Enjoy The Ride!" Nomic is a concept of a self driving car.
It questions the way how those vehicles can be designed. Of course, it's electric. The concepts stand for an easy to use self explaining traveling. In contrast to a normal car its roof is much higher. The height improves the passengers comfort regarding the boarding and deboarding.
The concept was developed as part of a project during my studies at the Berlin School of Art in 2010.
All the sensors that are essential for autonomous driving are hidden behind the front and rear windshield. It's a 2 passenger vehicle and it has the advantage of big mirrored windows for good viewing.
For better visibility in road traffic the rims are equipped with LEDs. As the vehicle is standing the LEDs indicate the status of it. While in movement, the LEDs act as a turn signal and a side marker light. The shape and functions should build a bridge between a standard car and public transport. And the "product-like" and "boxy" design gives a better understanding for what this car is standing for: a very new way of moving.
