Suppliers, manufacturers and software providers are working on whole new sound dimensions for cars. They’re driven by changing user behavior on the one hand, and changing hardware topography on the other; increasingly, loudspeakers as we’ve known them for so many years now compete with interior components and body parts which generate the sound themselves with targeted vibrations. You’ll find a close look in this week’s in-depth article.
Also this week, we bring you coverage of Cadillac’s Lyriq, their first EV—a spatial marvel and harbinger of GM’s AVs; LG Electronics and Sound Hound working on an advanced AI voice technology for future infotainment systems; new BMWs to be made from up to 50 per cent recycled material; driver monitoring systems bringing new business opportunities; new car interior safety features; ZF presenting their technologies for steer- and brake-by-wire and electronically controlled active damping; China fixing to surpass Germany this year to become the world’s second-largest auto exporter after Japan, and electrification and connectivity creating great potential for modernizing automotive architecture and the driver’s experience in the cockpit.
We’re glad you’re here with us! Not yet a member? come join in.
Sincerely yours,
