# Stained-Glass Driverless Cars Dominic Wilcox Designs a Bizarre Concept Car Complete with a Bed By Meghan Young | Published 2014-09-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stainedglass-driverless-car References: [visualnews](http://www.visualnews.com/2014/09/18/driver-less-cars-future-will-safe-can-make-glass/) & [dominicwilcox](http://dominicwilcox.com/) The vehicles of the future are going to be so safe that designers of today are envisioning such creations as the stained-glass driverless car. Made entirely out of glass, it is essentially a work of art on wheels. The interior is just as intriguing as the exterior. The stained-glass driverless car houses a full bed with comforter and all so that people can catch up on their sleep while it takes them to their final destination. Designed by Dominic Wilcox, the stained-glass driverless car debuted during the London Design Festival 2014. Dubbed the Stained-glass Driverless Sleeper Car of the Future, Wilcox says, "In the future it will be safer to drive in a driverless car than it will in a manual car, therefore we don’t need the protection systems that are built into contemporary cars. We can just have a shell of any design." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Artistic Driverless Cars:** Designing driverless cars that are not only safe but also aesthetically pleasing, allowing for art and functionality to coexist. - **Mobile Comfort Spaces:** Creating mobile spaces that are not just for transportation but also double as comfortable areas to rest in, leading to innovative solutions for long rides and commutes. - **Relaxation-technology Integration:** Incorporating relaxation technology into driverless cars to ensure that passengers can comfortably take a rest on long trips. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** Automakers can focus on building cars that not only prioritize safety but also showcase unique and artistic designs to attract customers. - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels and other lodging businesses can partner with automotive companies to provide a unique and comfortable transportation experience to their guests. - **Technology Industry:** Technology companies can develop and integrate relaxation technology into driverless cars to provide a more comfortable and personalized experience for passengers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Steering Wheel-Free Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innerspace.md) - [Fully Autonomous Crossover SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dkm-20.md) - [Privacy-Focused Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-car-concept.md) - [Lounge-Like Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-concept-vehicle.md) - [Autonomous Vehicle Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-solounge.md) - [Open-Air Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-adaptor.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Tranquil Interior Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-ioniq-seven.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cladrus.md)
