Will the gradual development of autonomous driving technology subvert the traditional car design? why

Of course. Now the task of driving is people-centered. The function design of accelerator, brake, steering wheel, instrument panel, rearview mirror, including the position of A-pillar and B-pillar, and wiper should meet a premise, that is, people should be people-oriented, and people should be able to complete driving tasks smoothly and unimpeded. Imagine that if this premise no longer exists and the car can complete the driving task independently, then many design concepts will be subverted. At this time, people are just passengers. What do passengers want with steering wheel and dashboard? What do passengers want with their front and back views? Just close the curtains and sleep. This is only a relatively direct impact. Indirect driving, for example, will greatly reduce or even eliminate vicious accidents, so the current safety design is no longer needed. It is estimated that anything that absorbs the bumper will be saved by then. I can make cars out of plastic. There are still many changes that we thought or didn't expect. In short, I believe that autonomous driving will not only subvert car design, but also subvert human society.
