The Vehicle Design course at the RCA pushes hard the issues surrounding transport in the future. Those studying the course are expected to consider "traffic jams, congestion-charging, parking restrictions, safety and environmental concerns" for both private and public transport. Students are also required "to develop an awareness of the range of issues that affect mobility including accessibility, aerodynamics, environmental impact, ergonomics, legislation, materials, production, safety and technology, as well as aesthetic principles".
