Google is working hard to make its autonomous cars a success.
Alphabet Inc. is one of those companies that makes sure whatever it does is top notch. The company is gearing up to enter the lucrative market for self-driven cars thus it is making sure all the add on in this car make it a pleasant experience for the user.
It is speculated that the search engine giant will come up with driverless cars that will be aided with bucket seats made of Corinthian leather, moon roofs and fuzzy upholstery.
At this point of time, it is quite early since the robo-cars are mere prototypes; however the company is striving hard at its workspace to come up with answers for some of the basics questions. This can be governed via the recent job postings,
At this point of time, GOOG is looking for a Lead who will be responsible for their Automotive Interiors Engineering. This individual will be responsible to weigh on the concepts regarding industrial design and come up with interior systems for the car.
Along with the basic skills required as well as the necessary qualification, he will also be responsible for "product development experience covering instrument panels, hard moldings, soft moldings, seating and interior lighting from program concept through to product launch within the transportation industry."
Other than this, the job posting also claimed, "You will be working with Industrial Design and the engineering teams to establish interior themes and define design criteria for vehicle interior systems.”
This job posting published by the company is a clue regarding the company’s vision for the future of self-driven cars. These cars are currently being manufactured under Google X which is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., - parent company of Alphabet.
At various instances, the tech giant has laid emphasis on the fact that it is not interesting in making autonomous cars itself. The company is going to collaborate with an automotive company to manufacture the self-driven cars.
Since the software will only be designed by Google, it is not their domain to be concerned about the interior and other external features. However, the company does not just want to streamline its focus on the internal technology but is concerned about all aspects of the vehicle.
The company has an extremely hands on approach when it comes to the look of the car- particularly focusing on the exterior and interior of the vehicle.
It needs to be taken into consideration that the self-driven cars do not feature steering wheels, pedals for acceleration and other conventional car specs. Thus, it makes a lot of sense that a lot of time needs to be invested on the design process.
Ironically, Google has never done justice to the design part when it comes to its products. Moreover, particularly in the automotive sector, there are numerous other companies that have experience of centuries when it comes to consumer preference.
Google is taking a lot of interest in its driverless car technology. The autonomous cars are likely to take the industry by a storm in the times to come. It is important that all aspects of these cars are given due attention so that consumers get forced to invest in it. Google is trying its best to make a difference in this domain, thus it is making sure that it comes up with nothing but the best.
