NAMI

Autonomous Vehicle Interior (2019)

Overview

globalDrive is a framework by the Institute of Automotive Technische Universität München for international student projects on trendsetting mobility topics with relevance for the automotive industry.
​
globalDrive 2018 is a joint project between Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and Technical University of Munich, Germany. This project is funded by the National Research Foundation Singapore in cooperation with TUMCREATE and NTU.
​
The Singapore team was given a design brief to develop a vehicle in light of the possible changes in the future of mobility, namely autonomous vehicles. Hence, the team worked towards ensuring a cosy and reassuring experience for the users, while welcoming the idea of promoting car-sharing in the future.

The interior is equipped with a virtual assistant, Nami, that accompanies the passengers throughout their journey and ensures that the passenger's needs in the interior are met. With a friendly character appearance, Nami 
helps to alleviate the stress of travelling without a driver and offers a more human touch to the interior. The user is able to communicate with the autonomous vehicles using the armchair or through the Nami app.
