Ian Florang, a 23-year-old physics major in Boulder, Colorado, is an avid gamer and outdoor enthusiast who prioritizes sustainability in his lifestyle.
Passionate about cycling and rock climbing, Ian relies on his bike as his primary mode of transportation, reflecting his commitment to reducing his climate impact through eco-conscious choices. However, the increasing threat of wildfires in the region has disrupted his car-free lifestyle, introducing significant barriers to mobility. Rising smoke levels, limited travel range, and the inability to navigate beyond the city have made it challenging for Ian to maintain his sustainable, active routine while seeking affordable alternatives.
The Stellantis Quantum project delivered a groundbreaking design for a fleet of autonomous vehicles, their operational base—the Quantum Hub—and paired wearable AR devices for seamless interaction.
The fleet, utilizing maglev technology to levitate without wheels, features a sleek, aerodynamic design with glowing accents, embodying Stellantis’ commitment to sustainable, self-driving innovation. The Quantum Hub, designed with a honeycomb structure, integrates with its natural surroundings, reflecting an eco-conscious approach to cutting-edge research. Wearable AR devices were introduced to pair with the vehicles, providing exclusive access to both the hub and fleet while enhancing user experience through immersive technology. Through cohesive visual design, the project unified these elements, delivering a forward-thinking solution that highlights technological progress and environmental harmony.
