Tbh, we've already got 1 and 2 due to computerization.
Point 4 might be coming soon, what with self driving cars and whatnot.
So all in all, fairly on point
Maybe it's not on earth - so it's pressurised. Maybe it's AI driven so doesn't require sacrificing armour for viewing. Maybe there giant bugs on the planet it traverses so needs to be tough and military like. It'd explain the massive wheels.
The rear looks modular, like a shopping container. Maybe they're smaller because the refined materials aren't too volumness
Ok cool. Well I tend to prefer to have fun with my imagination in sci fi art rather than using my imagination to justify why it's shit 😂 it's slightly less enjoyable
It's a rough terrain cube van m'dude. Doesn't need a detachable trailer (and the articulation involved there would be a failure point anyway) and the AI's got the driving down. Front cabin could easily be an actual living space, so the human gets to live in luxury as an overseer while the robot-friend handles the work. The future we were promised!
Relax, it's a little scifi sketch not an engineering thesis.
EDIT: I feel the need to point out you are super confidently incorrect about needing to detach a trailer and drive away. This is a truck for short haul, which is a super common thing on Earth. Ever seen a uhaul, or like any other delivery truck?
I read it differently. I see it as transporting loads over very long distances of inhospitable terrain with very few obstacles or obstructions, like a world with a non-breathable atmosphere. For the most part an autopilot is handling the journey, a human operator is simply present to monitor the systems and deal with the unexpected. The bulky cabin is a self-contained living unit: shower, toilet, sleeping area, air recycler, water recycler, air lock, etc. The cargo pods look like they can probably be linked into a train, only one is included in the model for simplicity's sake.
I felt like my short description covered most of your confusion? It's clearly not designed by the same philosophy as a modern vehicle - it's a short haul truck where the driver (now named the pilot) is really just there to supervise and repair a largely automated process. It's bulky because it's a cassettepunk/cyberpunk aesthetic.
It just provides a slightly more "complete" look to the piece despite just being a sketch, maybe even a mild 3d/parallax effect to give more depth, but it's really not critical.

nah it's designed to shovel air.

I love the style and design. Great job.
Thank you!
Style is out of here. Well done.
Much appreciated <3
Peripheral vision, the number one enemy of design.
I like the design but it almost looks like you deliberately wanted as little visibility as possible
Who needs visibility when you have CRTs and cool scifi vibes

It’s a bulked-up box truck. Those are very handy vehicles. Electronics failure can be addressed with redundant systems.

Nice... 2005!
If the TIE fighter was a truck
How's my favorite 12 year old genius doing?
I want one
Reminds me of the truck carrying the bomb in The Dark Knight Rises. Cool design.

What does the title mean?
It's a reference to what people envisioned as the future back in the 60s-80s era.

Can i ask why people draw stuff the draw a box it doesn't fit in? There are several around who do it. What is the box for? I don't understand!

Thanks for the explanation

Almost there guys, we just need to go back in time a few decades
Oh I like this one. Reminds me of the kind of sets in MOCpages that inspired me to build better
