Generative ‘AI’ is seemingly everywhere these days, hyped as a do-everything tool to provide easy answers to complex problems. If that’s true, it’s a boon; auto interiors are full of complex problems. The list of examples is endless—seats, cockpits, door panels, roof systems, the whole interior.
This week’s in-depth piece takes a look at how generative ‘AI’ could apply in automotive interiors, with examples which demonstrate applicability for highly complex designs, even if the technology still requires refinement and human oversight. It looks like it might be a much better fit for ‘AI’ than slapping that label as a buzzword on anything and everything, which is generating consumer backlash to the very idea of ‘AI’ integration in consumer products—we’ve got coverage of that, too.
Safety has long been a major topic in car interiors, because that is where the living occupants are. So there’s major innovation especially in passive safety, and this week we’ve got material on DMS, how airbags and seatbelts are supporting the move toward autonomous driving, radar to detect unbelted passengers and left-behind children or pets…and more!
DVN Interior’s next event is in less than a month, on 22-23 October in Torino, Italy. The rubric is Mobility and Sustainable Interior Design, and the docket is now final. If you haven’t already, come and register here!
Sincerely yours,
