The happiest self-driving news I have read in a long time is that IKEA is imagining our future self-driving world. That’s right — the autonomous future is balsa wood, tiny hex wrenches, and pictographic assembly instructions.
Somewhat more specifically, the concepts are developed by Space10, a Danish design lab with confusing connections to IKEA. Space10 itself doesn’t seem to mention IKEA on its website. But IKEA published a 2016 blog post in which it refers to Space10 as its “secret design lab.”
In any case, the concepts include:
- Office on Wheels
- Cafe on the Go
- Mobile Healthcare
- Farm Fresh Delivery
- Augmented Reality Joyride
- Sleepover Hotel on Wheels
- Pop-Up Store
