• Social theorist Jeremy Rifkin stated, “the age of ownership has ended and a new age has replaced it with the value of experience”, as he explained how ownership of a car is not sufficient anymore, consumers want a special experience and we find the solution in media, which leads the human experience. I constantly try to explore new ways to incorporate media into personal transportation for an enhanced experience. Virtual reality could extend our senses and experience. We could overcome chronic depression in the car industry if designers show a clear vision to society. New business opportunities could arise if we could encourage cooperation between the media and the car industry.
