Lincoln teamed with design students in California to create “something the world has not yet seen”

The Lincoln Motor Company recently revealed a quartet of concept cars aimed at depicting the types of vehicles the automaker might potentially produce in 2040, and the designs are shocking and compelling in all the best ways.

“We wanted an autonomous, electric, and shared two-seater, four-seater, high-riding four-seater, and six-seater", says Kemal Curic, Lincoln’s design director. We wanted to include our brand pillars of humanity, beauty, and gliding, based on our vision of Quiet Flight, which is what Lincoln stands for. And we said, let’s dream up something the world has not yet seen.”

The results are quite stunning, and complete, in part because the automotive students worked in conjunction with colleagues in other design departments—film, illustration, animation, and architecture to create not just vehicles, but also stories of the worlds in which these vehicles might exist.

A two-seat autonomous Glider is inspired by Lincoln Zephyrs and Continentals of the past—Streamline Moderne vehicles from the ’30s and ’40s, favored by Frank Lloyd Wright and we see a son allowing his paralyzed father to experience the joy of “driving” again.

A four-seat sedan loads up digital images that provide a couple with scenes from their 30-year marriage as they tour locations where these memories were made. A four-seat SUV takes a family on an adventure, displaying images from their mother’s initial connection with astronomy as she prepares to go into space.

And a six-passenger luxury cruiser, built out like a living room, takes an up-and-coming band on a relaxing drive as they prepare for their first big gig.

“I was mesmerized by the visualization,” says Curic. “I love putting all these diverse skill sets together where we focus not only on the vehicle but also on the feeling these vehicles will convey in 2040. I was blown away by the architecture, environmental, and storytelling bit. They do a lot of Hollywood work at ArtCenter, so it’s all about the narrative.”

These narratives help communicate more fully how the appearance of the car might change - but, perhaps more important, how it might be integrated into our lives in new ways as technologies and needs shift. Curic notes the “intriguing architecture and buildings, and the vehicles built into these backgrounds…the stories give a more holistic sense of our future incorporating cars into the built environment,” says Curic.

Moreover, the designs demonstrate a shift in the ethos of the next generation of automotive designers, as they consider creating vehicles for a planet that has changing needs. “The next generation is more cognizant of their responsibilities, and how their work will be used to create a better world,” says Curic. “They think about the vehicle almost as if it’s a living object.”

I go drive o

The steering design is unnecessary, engineering would have perfected the self driven technology by then.
The need for a external lighting is also sceptical because the perfect road accessories will be on ground.
But let them be, we can't really predict how fast these things will come on board

They didn't consider Nigeria when deciding on this vehicle...

Why are you so sure of what has not happened before? You better live and enjoy your life first on earth. Heaven or rapture has not happened before, its still a speculation... Even the way you talk about rapture is as if is tomorrow, I hope you have a plan too, cos if you think too much on heaven you won't plan for this life stall.... The second coming is near, is near, but we have spent over 2000yrs now, ...

While sane human beings are looking forward to future inventions which will make life better and scientists are working tirelessly to improve the human life span, this low IQ individual is hoping to go into the clouds and live in an ancient kingdom were they wear robes, play harps, ride horses and eat grapes. To him that's paradise. Please those who wants to go to heaven should do fast and go abeg.
