Envisioning the Future of On-Demand Air Transportation
UBER Air aims to have it's first on-demand air travel demonstration to the public in year 2020. In a multidisciplinary team of 4 of interaction design, graduate transportation system design and graduate industrial design students, we were challenged to envisioned the future of on-demand air travel and design a holistic system of eVTOL, Skyport and Mobile interface to deliver a safe, hassle-free and convenient experience for busy commuters in Dallas, Dubai and Los Angeles.
Quickly Learn and Build a Design that Works to Compete and Win
Formula-e project is designed to teach lessons in strategy, product development, science, engineering, design fabrication, branding and event planning. Students also learn about competition, working in teams, setting goals, and implementing plans that meet them. The vehicles are created with the latest computer design and rapid prototyping tools with advanced materials and mechanisms that rapidly accelerate them to speeds over 25mph .In addition to the design and fabrication of the vehicle, student teams will develop their team brand and design graphic collateral to promote their teams. Teams will also develop collaborative partnerships with local non-profit organizations.
Leveraging Each Other's Strengths
Our team took both collaborative and cooperative approach to utilize each other's strengths and maximize effectiveness and efficiency of our teamwork. Members took responsibility of a critical parts of the project to lead and maneuver through constant conversation, input and participation of other members of the team while building an integrated ownership as a whole.

Constant Cycle of Trial and Error
Process and development was a big part of this project. All aspects of this project was a cycle of testing and improving our ideas step by step and constantly making incremental changes to improve from what we had.
Test
Building logical theories / prototypes
Fail
Understanding what didn't work
Refine
Learning from failure to make improvements
Operate
Fine-tune / make something that works
Product
Building a Design that Works
As a core component of our project, we were able to bring some innovation to our car compared to the models seen in the past through constant trial and error to fine-tune our technologies and by practicing and learning how our product performs.

Race Day!
Operating and functioning as a successful team
A team is like a machine with different cogwheels that work together to operate as a whole. On the race day, it was critical for each of the members to understand and effectively perform on his roles to operate and function as a team. Different drivers raced on different tracks depending on records and performance, different members focused on different parts of the project depending on skill sets and motivation, and different people focused on different parts of managing the team depending on competencies.
