Honda's Future driverless - autonomous vehicles of the future

Inviting us to think outside of the parking lot in terms of driverless cars, Honda teamed up with design studios Map and Mori, Inc., as well as 3D printing and prototyping firm Ogle. Together, they designed and 3D printed seven unique and incredibly detailed concept cars that showcase Honda’s technological advancements while taking us on a journey from Kenya to Brazil.

The exact route is quite symbolic, retracing the one of the longest routes of human migration, which happens to cross over seven distinct and treacherous terrains, including deserts, mountains, water and the icey tundra. While Map and Mori were originally commissioned to design a single shape-shifting car that could somehow traverse all of these, they finally settled on designing seven individual ones with completely tailored features to enhance and elevate the driver’s experience through each.

Crucially, these cars aren’t just about getting you from point A to point B. As the old expression goes, it’s the (self-driving) journey that matters. Thus, the Tunda Sled doesn’t just feature a pack of electric Honda drones that can sense cracks in the ice, it also features a luxurious hot tub and built-in telescope for enjoying the beautiful, unpolluted night sky.
