Abstract
Current interior design activities for future vehicles pay little attention to the users’ demands on social and psychological aspects. The research provides an innovative approach for exploring the users’ psychological, cultural, and social implications for future AVs. We also conclude several influence factors of future AVs’ layout in different scenarios which can help designers to shift perspectives and generate more reliable prospective outcomes. In this article, we first study existing cases and literature of the interior layout for AVs and use design fiction to build several narrative story and low fidelity prototypes for a future AV in shared mobility. Then we invited 3 groups of passengers to review and reflect on these prototypes. After they evaluate the good and bad experiences in the prototype, we sort out the needs of passengers in different scenarios for space, facilities, and services, which can provide innovative exploration for the existing layout design.
