San Francisco industrial designers Mike + Maaike have proposed a self-driving electric passenger vehicle that they claim heralds “the end of driving”.

The Autonomobile (ATNMBL) is a concept car is designed around passenger, rather than driver, experience with architectural styling, a lounge-like interior and fully glazed sides.

Mike + Maaike also designed the G1 Google phone. See our story here.

Here’s some text from Mike + Maaike:
