Design a wearable car for 2060
As population density rises, expanding the road network becomes impractical, leading to a surge in shared mobility. How can we infuse emotional attachment, individual identity,and personalized features into shared mobility, specifically in the form of a wearable car?
In 2060, we crafted a wearable vehicle for our chosen brand BMW drawing from the adaptable essence of origami. This innovation allows owners to personalize both the exterior and interior, ensuring each vehicle embodies its owner's distinct identity. We predicted the needs of different user groups from the car for our envisioned scenarios, and envisaging their experiences within the evolving urban landscape and automotive technology of 2060.The exterior can adjust to accommodate diverse needs, with changing interior such as serving as a workspace, a resting area, a wellness retreat, or an entertainment hub.

What car means to people and to both of us?
A CAR OR MOVING HOME
Way to redefine relationship between people and car?
Shifting the focus from car ownership to the experiences associated with transportation, such as seamless travel, comfort, and convenience. This could involve partnerships with entertainment or hospitality industries to enhance the overall travel experience.
A personalized space that can be freely used like one’s home or office. It can be used as an office space for work or as a personal space where one can enjoy various entertainment (watching movies, exercising, camping, etc.). It is not a single space, but a space that can change according to each person's taste or situation at that given time.
