In the future, with the advent of autonomous delivery vehicles, customers will likely retrieve their parcels directly from a delivery vehicle.  This new format will have vehicles that directly face the customer, meaning they will need to be intuitive to use. They’ll also need a heightened level of design quality compared to today’s vans. The Polestar Smart Delivery pod by student designer Subha Kundu imagines just such a scenario.
