Criteria:

Safety is the most important criteria because the final AEV design will be used to transport human beings. Without guaranteed safety the AEV design would not only be unappealing, but useless. No one would ever want to enter a vehicle that puts his or her life at risk.

Efficiencymaintenance, and stability are three of the five criteria and are closely connected. High efficiency will provide both cheaper and more environmental transportation, making the vehicle easy to maintain. A more stable design also entails easier maintenance because it will be more durable and require less frequent repairs.

Aesthetics may be one of the less important criteria, but a smart design means a sleeker, more streamline vehicle body that could boost efficiency. Good aesthetics also make the AEV eye-catching and pleasing. No city would want to implement an AEV that looks incomplete or unprofessional.
