Steering Verbal communication and gestures
The A-One is travelling at high speed to the centre of the city. During the ride PIA in her function as virtual co-driver stays at the end of the long armrest. She makes every Audi shuttle to Michael‘s individual car.
Recuperation Flexible chair & interface VR-Mode Isolation from environment
In the tunnel system underneath the city centre the A-One isolates itself from the environment.While driving through the busy commuter traffic, Michael can relax inside the shuttle until he finally arrives at his office in the 45th floor.
AUDI INTERNSHIP During my internship at Audi Interior Design in Ingolstadt I had the chance to work on the new Q8 Concept. Besides intensive sketch ideation I was also responsible for CAD supervision of different parts in the interior. Audi Q8 Concept & Q8 Sport Concept

CONCEPT-TRUCK 2030 The concept 2030 is a long-distance semitrailer truck, which reacts appropriately to the changing needs of modern goods trafďŹ c. In order to improve the aerodynamics and the fuel consumption the vehicle has a completely new driver‘s cab.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT The aerodynamic silhouette and the retractable air bafe on top both underline the unity of truck and trailer. Side windows are integrated in the clean side surfaces of the cabin.Two air-shield handles lead the airstream on both sides of the truck.They also improve the access to the cabin via the integrated footsteps in the air intakes.
FINAL LOOK
AERODYNAMIC BODY
V-formation reduces air drag
Changing distance forms a unified body
On highways the distance between truck and trailer is minimized to reduce air turbulences. Only when cooling of the engine is necessary the flaps on both sides of the cabin open inwards.

UNRESTRICTED MOBILITY
GREEN CENTRES
In order to convince the modern businessman to go by bike, the design should convey a sporty character and unrestricted mobility, just like a mountain bike.
SCULPTURAL FRAME
The shape refers to the current design language of the new BMW i-series. The bike with its uent silhouette proudly presents that it is electrically powered.
FRAME PACKAGE
The frame is fully made of carbon and serves as weather protection for the technical package on the inside: batteries and the electric engine, which is located directly on the drive axle of the pedals, are fully integrated.
