This week’s in-depth report looks into the latest iteration of findings that automotive Infotainment systems continue to be the most troublesome thing in the interior. That’s a big and persistent problem, as infotainment systems are growing well beyond their original instrument-cluster-plus-radio to engulf more and ever more functions and features inside the car. The DVN Interior Köln Workshop—it’s only about 12 days away!—will address the topic with two HMI/Smart Surfaces sessions, presenting new technologies and solutions to solve these issues. More than 120 attendees have already registered, with high participation by industry including BMW; Volvo; JLR; Ford; Honda; Hyundai, and Toyota. If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time, but only just barely—don’t delay!
The workshop is centered around the theme Human Centered Interior Technologies; that’s really the primary main focus of the industry. You’ll find coverage of relevant topics this week including Toyota’s new safety model; Asahi’s new way of detecting impaired drivers; Xperi’s insights into in-car listening, as well as news about BMW and AirConsole; competition for games, and more. Enjoy!
Sincerely yours,
