As we enjoy summer vacation in many parts of the world, it’s worth thinking about migration from cities to holiday resorts, and how our expertise in vehicle interiors can shape and improve it. One of the most common topics under those circumstances is motion sickness, a real drag under any circumstances and especially when traveling by car with the whole family. In this issue of DVN-I, that’s the subject of our in-depth story to better understand it and find ways to mitigate it.
We’ve also got content about user experience, screens, 3D displays, vehicle access, smart doors, new materials, new kinds of cars, new modes of cooperation, EV growth, automated shuttles, the interaction of law enforcement with automated cars…the list of news topics addressed in this newsletter grows lengthy, doesn’t it! It really highlights the variety and complexity of our automotive world.
DVN-I is also linking the automotive market, new technology, and new mobility services to the present, and explaining their relevance in the car interior realm. Technology and services are the building blocks of today’s and tomorrow’s vehicle occupant experience, and that’s where interior and mobility overlap. Mobility service providers will of course brand and promote their services, not least by creating a unique customer experience, from ordering with a smartphone tap to relaxing into a mobility tool. Here again, the interior is a major pillar of the experience, so new mobility will drive new interiors, and vice versa.
DVN-I has been up and running for 3 months now. Subscribers, we are gratified you’re here. Readers who haven’t yet subscribed, we are looking forward to welcoming you into the DVN-I community, and it’s time to subscribe! Please contact us today for your personal subscription proposal. The next newsletter will be the first one accessible only to subscribers. We hope our first 9 issues and our first extensive report have helped you to understand the value DVN-I brings. As we grow, we carry on providing fresh and relevant news and analysis in the newsletter—which will be moving to a weekly publication—as well as periodic DVN-I Reports. There’ll also be topical DVN-I Workshops, and we’re very excited to announce the first one will be held in early January in Munich, Germany. Watch for details in your DVN-I.
Sincerely yours,
