The development of Shared and Self-driving Vehicles is radically changing our relationship with automobiles. For the new generations of urban citizens, owning a vehicle is not a milestone anymore: cars have lost their aura and this is creating new and unexpected behaviors. We foresee a dual scenario.

In the city, cars will become neutral spaces shared by different people in search of an easy ride or better, a place to rest. Recent statistics on the use of shared cars in Japan show that in 30% of the cases people don’t even drive the vehicle: they park it in designated areas and they use it as a personal space to rest, nap, change clothes or have a coffee.

Self-driving vehicles will provide an opportunity that goes well beyond the mere improvement of mobility: they will become a flexible platform customized according to people’s needs or desires.

Speculating on current South Korea urban structure, we imagine that these vehicles will be turned into movable Bang, room for rent where you can sing a song, watch a movie, play games, rest, relax in a bath, have a drink, fish and more: you can do it alone or with your friends, while the car moves or it is parked. It is the birth of the Self-parking Bang.

The industry will use the vehicle platform to develop different forms of movable Bang. Customers will be able to book a free unit through an app. The app will take advantage of the city current database and will suggest a time and a behavior, however customers will be able to choose according to their preference: a fixed time, a certain itinerary, a loop, a designated parking and so on.

Functions of the Bang will start from a minimal unit, the Bathroom, offering relax and comfort on the way to an appointment, all the way to classic entertainment, like the norebang (karaoke). Possibilities are endless and the reality will surpass our imagination.

In private, cars will become fantastic objects used as game simulators to enhance the virtual pleasure of driving, an experience almost completely forgotten by self-driving users. These equipped car bodies will be parked in living rooms and not in garages, recreating the intimate relationship between the vehicle and its owner. They will provide a dream like background for a lifestyle that has been radically transformed by the new forms of mobility.

The project, rather than developing a new technology, is aiming to explore new behaviors that will take advantage of the smartness of developing cities.

共享汽车和无人驾驶汽车的发展正在从根本上改变我们与汽车的关系。对新一代的城市居民而言，拥有一辆汽车不再是一个里程碑事件：汽车早已失去它的光环，而且这正在催生新的意想不到的行为方式。我们预计出现两种情景。

在城市中，汽车将成为不同人共享的中立空间，为他们提供轻松座驾或更好的休息场所。日本关于共享汽车使用情况的近期统计数据显示，30%的人甚至不开车：他们把车停在指定的区域，将其作为休息、午睡、换衣服或喝咖啡的私人空间。

无人驾驶汽车提供的机遇远远不止于改善其移动性：它们将成为根据人们需求定制的灵活平台。根据韩国当前的城市结构，我们想象这些车辆将变成可移动的Bang、出租房，你可以在其中唱歌、看电影、玩游戏、休憩、沐浴放松、浅酌一杯、钓鱼等等，你可以独享时光亦或与朋友共享。这就是自动泊车多功能坊的诞生。

行业将利用车载平台开发不同形式的可移动Bang。消费者可以通过应用程序预定免费的单元。这个应用程序将利用城市的实时数据，对时间和行为提出建议，当然顾客可以根据自己的偏好进行选择：固定时间、固定行程、某个循环、指定的停车位等等。

Bang的功能将从一个最小的单元——浴室开始，还可以在赴约途中提供放松和舒适的享受。其功能一直扩展到经典的娱乐，比如norebang（卡拉OK）。程序拥有无限可能，现实将超越我们的想象。

在私人生活中，汽车将成为妙不可言的物品，可用来当做游戏模拟器，增强虚拟驾驶的乐趣，这是一种无人驾驶用户几乎完全忘却的体验。车身将停放在客厅而不是车库，重新营造车辆和车主之间的亲密关系。它们将为被新型出行方式彻底改变的生活方式提供一个梦幻般的环境。

该项目并非要开发一种新技术，而在于探索智慧型发展中城市的新行为。
