Today’s edition of the Newsletter arrives in parallel to the opening of the Frankfurt Motor Show, so in The Design Lounge we’ll take a look at the highlights; watch for a more detailed report in the next Newsletter.
DVN-I is heralding new interior and mobility technology popping up all around. And most of the time we present the engineering or marketing perspective on it. But what about the consumer perspective? Deloitte recently presented an encouraging study on consumer acceptability of ACES (autonomous, connected, electric, shared) mobility technology. Have a look at our analysis of the Deloitte report, which is food for thought on how to get the car-using public onside.
It’s amazing to see how the new ACES mobility paradigm is already influencing today’s cars; we’ve got a report this week on new side airbags which can protect even swiveled occupants, new clean coatings and interior air cleaning techniques to cater for constant usage and multiple occupants, and a wide array of technologies for 3D display, child safety, interior lighting, and more—all to move toward a safer and more comfortable experience today and in the future.
Enjoy your reading!
Sincerely yours,
