I am designing a vehicle for an electric efficiency driving competition for Chinese common citizens in year 2020. The competition encourages potential first-car buyers to experience owning a sustainable car in a thrilling and educational way. The competition vehicle interacts with participants to help them achieve better driving efficiency, by providing physical and virtual assistance and feedback while they are driving. Eventually, a sustainable driving mentality will start to emerge in China, in the largest population group of the world.
