# Relaxing Transportation Pods The Conceptual 'Individual Autonomy' Changes According to Needs By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-10-17 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/individual-autonomy References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/10/16/in-the-future-better-cars-will-be-decided-by-how-good-their-interiors-are-rather-than-horsepower/) The conceptual 'Individual Autonomy' is an envisioning of the future of transportation that transforms an [autonomous automobile into a private space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lepas-l8s-exquisite-space) for relaxing, [getting work done](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin-work-pod) and much more. The vehicle explores the concept of what passengers will be doing in a car cabin when they aren't required to do the driving and how the car can be designed to enhance the experience. This includes ample space for stretching out and even a set of blinds that can block out the window to let passengers make the space more private when working or perhaps even getting a little rest. The conceptual 'Individual Autonomy' has been designed by Daniel Martini of the [Changan Automobile European Designing Center S.R.L.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-auto-brand) and is the winner of the 2019 Red Dot Design Concept Award. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Individual Autonomy Transportation:** Designing autonomous cars for relaxing, working and privacy. - **Private Autonomous Interior Design:** Cabin designs that prioritize passenger relaxation and productivity. - **Blind Systems in Autonomous Vehicles:** Implementing blinds or curtains to increase privacy. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** Opportunity to create autonomous vehicles with a focus on comfort, privacy and productivity. - **Interior Design Industry:** Opportunity to create interior space for autonomous vehicles that prioritizes relaxation, privacy and productivity. - **Window Treatment Industry:** Opportunity to create technology-driven blinds or curtains for autonomous vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lounge-Like Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-concept-vehicle.md) - [Tranquil Interior Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-ioniq-seven.md) - [Transforming Autonomous Transportation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrival-chemie.md) - [Autonomous Vehicle Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-solounge.md) - [Privacy-Focused Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-car-concept.md) - [Weather-Inspired Autonomous Car Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-la-mto.md) - [Elevating Passenger Level Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-cascade.md) - [Socialization-Encouraging Travel Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agorae-mobility-concept.md) - [Fully Autonomous Crossover SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dkm-20.md)
