The IAA Mobility show in Munich was more than just a car show. Since its relaunch in 2021, the IAA has been positioned as a comprehensive mobility show. Under the motto “Experience Connected Mobility”, the trade show aimed to present what will move people today and in the future. This week we bring you a first in-depth impression of the show’s automotive and interior innovations.
The incursion of artificial intelligence (AI) in cars is gaining momentum, thus spurring the need for partnerships. With the CLA Class concept, Mercedes-Benz presented their future design and interior outlook. Kurz presented interesting new design features and smart surfaces for the interior, Preh showed their ‘placeable knobs’, and Forvia and Continental exhibited new interior concept models.
In this newsletter we also report about parking a Mercedes via smartphone; a driverless minibus; Xiaomi’s electric car plans, and Nio’s view that voice control becomes mainstream in the car.
We hope you will enjoy the newsletter. Please ping us with your questions and comments. We’re glad you’re here with us! Not yet a member? Come join in.
