Description

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the past, present and future of autonomous road vehicles for professionals and students. Split into three parts, the first section of the book brings together the key historical developments in autonomous road vehicle design and the primary explorations of the design possibilities from science fiction.

This historical analysis draws upon significant test vehicles from history and explores their roles as landmarks in the evolution of the field.

In addition, it also reviews the history of science fiction and outlines the key speculations about autonomous road vehicles which emerged from that world.

In the second section of the book, Joseph Giacomin introduces five of the most popular future-facing speculative approaches used by designers.

In doing so, he identifies the major user-facing challenges which affect ideation, product design, service design and business modelling.

In the final part, science fiction prototyping is identified as the speculative approach best suited to autonomous road vehicle application.

Connecting theory with practice, Giacomin provides examples of sixteen science fiction prototypes, which cover a comprehensive range of physical, psychological, sociological and ethical design challenges. Written as an accessible guide for design practitioners and students, this book will be of use to those interested in the psychological, sociological and ethical factors involved in automotive design, human-centred design, industrial design and technology.
