THE AUTONOMOUS TAXI OF THE FUTURE

Gekko is an autonomous Taxi for everyone. While matching the users taste it also reacts on its needs, regardless to its age, purpose of use or disabilities. The design is combining the advantages of a public space with the privateness of your personal car without stigmatizing the user.

This project was made for Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG in collaboration with Bastian Reichhardt.

“Gekko — autonomous demand-oriented car sharing” won the 5th place in national competition and runner-up for international James Dyson Design Award 2017
