After playing around with different designs of driverless vehicles, Mike and Maaike landed on their ATNMBL concept car. They sketched, they collaged and they toiled late into the night to design a car from the inside out. They wanted to focus on the passenger’s ability to have conversations and be sociable while being comfortable.

The designing duo [Mike and Maaike](http://www.mikeandmaaike.com) also claims that the ATNMBL concept would be a suitable small living space.

Look out for more concept cars integrating the idea of driverless vehicles in the near future!
