Digital bobbleheads are the "provocative future" for cars, says Plummer-Fernandez
Designer Matthew Plummer-Fernandez is reimagining the dashboard figurine as a personalised avatar to help drivers communicate with cars for the Dezeen and MINI Frontiers exhibition this September.
Plummer-Fernandez's concept is based on the idea that, as the software in cars becomes more and more advanced, we will need to invent new ways to communicate with them.
"I'm exploring our new relationships with autonomous vehicles" he explains. "How could we embody [a car's] software system as some sort of artefact that you'd have on your dashboard that you'd communicate with, or you felt like it was communicating with you""
The idea is inspired by the practice of sticking small figurines onto car dashboards to bring good luck.
