After the era of driverlessness, the boom of SUVs and crossovers will end? Is it a revolutionary opportunity for car design? In an interview with foreign auto media, Klaus Bischoff, the design director of Volkswagen, spoke surprisingly and expressed such a point.
His original words are like this:At present, the attraction of cars and MPV models is declining, and SUVs are continuing to be hot. From this trend, we can find some interesting things, which may not even be noticed by consumers themselves.
When the level 5 level of driverless is implemented, the SUV will start to look very old. People on the road will point at it and say, "Look, the car that the person drives is like a dinosaur..." By that time, there will be more The more different cars come, the cars will become very open.
In combination with Klaus Bischoff's identity as a designer, you will find that it is not surprising that he said this. From the perspective of car styling, the adventurous era will indeed make the car look different. For example, the Mercedes-Benz F 015 concept car is a good example.
In fact, it is easy to overturn this point of view. From the perspective of user needs, it is only necessary to grasp two points, which are security and space. (Looks like the reason why I love SUVs for people)
Let me talk about the former. SUVs can give people a sense of psychological security, which has long been confirmed by countless Chinese consumers (and this should be the case abroad), and one of the typical hearts of Chinese consumers buying SUVs is this: now on the road Not safe, in case someone else hit me or I hit someone else, SUV should be more resistant to it?
Not to mention whether the SUV is more resistant to collision than a car. In the era of unmanned driving, when the cars on the road are fully unmanned, the probability of road accidents is theoretically much smaller than that of manual operation. Therefore, it seems that the "advantage" of SUV "anti-collision" will change. It's useless... The reason we buy an SUV can be weakened a lot?
Of course, potential car owners can still find reasons to refute this: the high sitting posture of the SUV is also one of the sources of security. After all, everyone likes to be condescending.
Next is "space." You have seen the Mercedes-Benz F 015 concept car. In the era of completely unmanned driving, we can liberate ourselves from driving. So in the space of the car, we can do something else. For example, reading books, playing mobile phones and even other unspeakable things. Since this is the case, isn’t our demand for space stronger than it is now? Some people want to buy an unmanned bus... So, how can a large-space model such as SUV and MPV “fall†with the advent of the era of driverlessness?
Writing here, we seem to hear the hearty laughter of the SUV "regaining new life"... But, as the designer of Volkswagen said, there will be more and more after the era of driverless and electrified The novelty of the car appeared, by that time, whether the SUV, MPV models and the "newborn" are still competitive enough, may be another problem. This may also be the starting point for his conclusion.
Regardless of whether his point of view is right or not, there is at least one fact that can be affirmed: the rise of electrification and intelligence is another revolutionary opportunity for automotive design. From the conceptual body launched by various manufacturers at several auto shows, everyone should be able to find this trend.
