Right now, almost every car looks like an ergonomic blobject. The trendy thing to do to cars right now is to add chrome, neon, and spinny wheels. If I were to extrapolate a future car from current trends, I'd imagine a chrome egg that glows like Las Vegas.
Sure, I could just as easily imagine a car that looked like a matte black monolith. Problem is, that's just a random shot in the dark. There is no current trending to lead me in that direction.
I think the genius in creating a new paradigm lies not in extrapolating from superficial trends, but in isolating a fundamental problem that no one else has fully appreciated yet. It would be like predicting a future car that doesn't need to be replaced as soon as it's paid for.
