The reason why these subjects have direction of the car design in the technological manner. been chosen as the main influencing factors for the car design is that a change of design or a development in car has been completed Human needs have been the main reason for the creation of this with the support of technology and to meet the needs of humans or mean of transportation. Therefore, it has been inevitable not to in other words solve the design problems. Therefore, it has been mention this factor. The lifestyles of the people have been affected analyzed to examine how these subjects affect car design, hence by various occasions, such as wars, livelihoods, and so. In this what outcome can be driven from the synthesis of these elements. chapter the external elements of the factors which are more likely This article includes a developed systematic study about timeline of independent from technological improvements have been examined the automobiles, human needs in different eras based on non-tech- and explained within the time frame. nological factors, autonomy technology in car industry, a research about legislations, urban planning and logistic scenarios, and finally Autonomous technology has been explained to understand what it a proposal of a package with a concept design. is together with its features and elements, and why its features are important.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
