degree of artificial intelligence The change in our relationship to personal modes of transportation will undoubtedly alter how we use our time both inside and outside of vehicles It will have an impact on our communities, cities, roads, and public spaces In principle it will also offer enhanced safety As with all new technology, autonomous self-driving vehicles offer new possibilities that will also pose new questions and new responsibilities The very nature of how these vehicles will be integrated into the fabric of our 208 evaluate taking stock of lessons learned lives will be the result of decisions made by designers moving forward (see Figure 12.20) New Questions for Designers When these five key factors are combined, the industry is faced with new questions In combining these evolving macro trends, one quickly understands the potential for radical disruption of traditional business models in the world of vehicle design, marketing, and manufacturing Consider the bygone era when the average person purchased hard copies of music rather than downloading and sharing The record industry experienced massive change due to technology Moreover, one could argue the very nature in which we appreciate music shifted The world of imaging has experienced a fundamental shift as well Analog cameras were at one time quite popular Large corporations such as Fuji and Kodak were quite successful in offering and developing film Digital imaging has undeniably altered the way most of us capture, process, and share images From journalism to publishing, the list of traditional industries upended by the advent of new technology is not a short one Anyone actively engaged in the vehicle and transportation sector should consider where they stand in this regard This is particularly crucial for designers as they are directly responsible for the aesthetic, human, and emotional qualities of the user experience These macro trends indicate that the way many of us purchase and use our vehicles is likely to change While some consumers will always opt for traditional vehicle ownership, one can imagine the day when shared usage will become ubiquitous As demand for different types of mobility grows, and technology offers ways to make mobility less burdensome, users will have a broader range of ways to access transportation Many of these choices will not involve going into a traditional dealership every few years to purchase or lease a vehicle The key question for traditional vehicle manufacturers then becomes how to monetize mobility They will have to remain competitive in their current areas of expertise However, many of the opportunities for growth moving forward will not be from the sources familiar to them Future growth will come as a result of new business propositions created by the confluence of new technologies and sociocultural trends To remain competitive and grow, traditional vehicle manufacturers must evolve to include services and experiences As the competitive landscape is redefined to include services and experiences in the technology age, new competitors will emerge Where vehicle manufacturers traditionally competed among themselves, they are now potentially faced with competition from a range of technology-based service providers For example, the big three at one point in time referred to General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler It then evolved to more accurately refer to Toyota, Volkswagen, and General Motors Moving forward, the three key players in the transportation world may not only include traditional automotive manufacturers As a result, core competencies will be reframed The scope of product development and evaluate taking stock of lessons learned design will undoubtedly evolve To be successful in this fluid and competitive world, successful vehicle manufacturers will have to simultaneously learn new skills and leverage partnerships when necessary In fact, the central focus of some organizations may shift in a quantum way Consider if a company like Apple had only remained a computer manufacturer and ignored mobile phones or music Just imagine then how key players in the vehicle world may involve moving forward Key Implications for Designers As stated before, creating future scenarios for any business can be a bit like predicting the weather In considering these key factors and their impact on the world of vehicle design and transportation, it’s important to remember that none of them are actually etched in stone It is true that they exist currently; however, they are evolving to varying degrees and subject to whatever unpredictable twists, turns, and occurrences the future may hold Change may take place slowly, or it may occur rapidly, but in either case you can be certain that much of the timing and outcome is truly uncertain This is one of the things that makes design exciting We can be certain, however, that people will always have a need for transportation For as long as we’ve been around, we’ve had the need to get around Furthermore, we’ve always had a desire to appear a certain way while traveling Vehicles are and will continue to be an integral part of our society, from the days of horse-drawn wagons to autonomous self-driving automobiles And considering that horses are intelligent animals and 209 stories exist of them navigating on their own, one can draw parallels Through the ages, history and human nature have also shown us that narrative is crucial to the way we view ourselves and how we interact with the world around us The need for visual meaning is deep within and informs the way we create and appreciate design on a psychological level It’s the framework for the aesthetic principles behind everything we create, see, and experience This phenomenon will remain vital in the way transportation providers offer and communicate their goods and services in the future As long as humans have different personalities with opinions on how they would prefer to move through the world, designers will offer an array of choices to suit their needs Notes McKinsey & Company Automotive Revolution – Perspective Towards 2030: How
