Creating iconic autonomous cars for baby boomers and digital natives
Press
As baby boomers and digital natives become key influencers in the emerging revolution of the driverless car, design is playing a bigger role in mobility as a service and ultimately, autonomous mobility. Strategy Director, Nate Giraitis, highlights several ways designers are looking to solve for these important buyers in the autonomous market.

Focusing more on the philosophy of universal design will help designers better solve for high expectations of the future driverless car market. Read on at wardsauto.com.
