What if the full potential of autonomy were unlocked tomorrow? What solutions will be needed to ensure UBER business models transfer seamlessly to an autonomous world?  What solutions can take those business models to the next level?  These were the core questions I posed in my project brief to the team for our “e-Pallete for the Uber network” project.

The team wide effort (including three summer interns) resulted in six unique vehicle concepts roughly based on Toyota’s e-Palette platform architecture.  Each took a different direction, in most cases attempting to address multiple potential use cases on the Uber platform.  Final work was presented in an open-house style format to ATG colleagues and leadership, complete with poster presentations and VR experiences.
