The autonomous vehicle as new technology innovation in the recent decade generally has projected social impact in the coming future. This studio project focused on the micro scale of this new technology agenda and majorly provide possibilities of the neoteric relationship between single family living style and the autonomous vehicle. Project vigorously engaged with how self-drive cars improve the interior quality of living, gave two entirely different arguments of the relationship between vehicle and house, in the delaminating and the integrating way.

Before having a relationship with the house, the new design vehicle manifests that using the combination of new technology, the gyroscope and ball tire, to suggest an attitude of how autonomous vehicle drive in the city. The single wheel geometry of vehicle design strongly indicates that car should take less ground from society and create new all-time balance quality of the interior of the vehicle.

Meanwhile, in term of relationship with the house, the delaminating argument takes advantage of the autonomous vehicle: autonomous allows accurate movement. The car could delaminate itself from driving form, then transform and interposition into an existing house. The integrating argument uses the different attitude that when the newly designed car is part of other industry, as an integrated product, how it still benefits or indicate the further design of interior space of the housing.

These two methods create the relationship between new technology object and living style, also suggest a juxtaposition of technology and space in profound architecture language.
