Car Design Has A Bright Future

Yesterday afternoon was a quietly important time for the future of the automobile.

The Royal College of Art’s prestigious vehicle design course opened to the great and good of the global car industry.

Over a few hours, established designers from most carmakers descend on Kensington Gore in central London to view the work of the latest graduates.

It’s the chance for the students to impress the designers and snap up work experience or even a full-time job with an automotive company.

In recent years, some of the vehicle design graduation shows were almost apologetic about the role of the car, overwhelmed by the hate turned towards personal transport by the rampant environmental movement.

ohh that's why these design schools turn out space craft instead of automobiles. It's because the students hate cars.

I love this design. The forms are so fluid. The way the seat comes out like that makes it easier for the old folks to get in and out. The story behind this design is also very fascinating.
