Future Mobility Design Lab

Mobility is about people.

Imagine a future where cities are designed for people and not cars. A future where we use exciting new trends and technologies such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and a shared economy, to drastically shift the urban fabric around social development and accessibility for everyone. Designing mobility systems around parks, libraries, museums, and community initiatives. Where more than going from A to B, it’s about How and Why; essentially focusing on meaningful and enriching experiences while in motion.

Our cities have immense untapped potential, and at the FMD Lab we believe in a new empathic approach by collaborating with key industry and academic partners who share a passion for the future; to co-create innovative proposals that address real-world opportunities and improve the quality of life through mobility.

• Focusing on the future mobility experience: multi-disciplinary research, prototyping and visualization of advanced concepts.

• User-community centered: focusing not only on vehicles but people and the city.

• Prototyping in all levels: analog, digital, physical, VR, mixed reality.

• Training future multi-disciplinary thought leaders.

• High impact research with local, national, and international implications.

Ultimately, “transportation is not the end; it’s the means to a purpose” – Chen, 2019
