Graduating students at Korea's Hongik University school of Art and Design have recently shown their work in the annual degree Show held in October. The exhibition featured a project by senior students sponsored by General Motors.
The final project presentation was given to General Motors during the exhibition, and representatives from Honda, Renault, Samsung, Johnson Controls, and Lear showed great interest towards the seniors graduate project. The aim of the project was to design a new vehicle concept utilizing the GM AUTOnomy platform for the year 2020. The proposed vehicle should be an evolution of the automobile exterior and interior, using the advantages of the AUTOnomy platform which offers a wide range of features such as drive-by-wire, 20-year chassis life expectancy, freedom from many ergonomic constraints, electronic multiplexing ability, along with silent and pollution-free driving.
GM Asia Pacific Executive Director of Design David Lyon and GM Daewoo Deputy Director of Advanced Design Max Wolff visited the school regularly to supervise the project and brief the students on AUTOnomy. Renault Vice-President Exterior Design Anthony Grade also visited the school during the project, and Renault will start a sponsored project with the school beginning from March 2006.
