Dream As You Cruise Inside This Stained Glass Driverless Car

Designer Dominic Wilcox is thinking about the future. In the documentation for his new driverless sleeper car concept, he states, "I propose that in the year 2059 it will be statistically proven that it is safer to ride in a computer controlled driverless vehicle than to ride in a human driven vehicle."

For this reason, he designed the above art nouveau-inspired vehicle to be a driverless habitat, a colorful stained glass dome-on-wheels that invites passengers inside to get cozy. In fact, the car concept known as Stained Glass Driverless Sleeper Car of the Future isn't just the perfect shape and size for the solo traveler—crafted with a twin-sized mattress in mind, the unique automobile was made for snoozin'.

The result of a combination of bespoke stained glass artistry and CAD technologies, the sleeper car is part of an effort by Wilcox to develop the perfect modular chassis for the driverless cars of the future. Part of the Dezeen and Mini Frontiers exhibition at the London Design Festival, the car even comes with easy customization options. On website concept Taxi Robot, Wilcox imagines a near-future wherein picking out a vehicle is as easy as selecting size, shape, and interior—your personalized Taxi Robot should arrive at your doorstep on September 21, 2059. It's a Sunday.
