At TU-Automotive Detroit Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Jaguar Land Rover and Panasonic Consider How Tech Will Change Car Design
London, UK (PRWEB) April 10, 2016 -- The future feel, shape and look of in-car HMI will be determined by which approach to vehicle automation and on-demand mobility emerges triumphant. Should the “Google” model win (fast-forwarding to full automation) then instrumentations may be minimalistic with interiors that are utilitarian and comfortable. Alternatively, should the incremental improvements path hold strong (following automation levels) then we will see OEMs roll out more advanced active safety technology.
The following panel session has been designed to consider both eventualities:
The Changing Face of the Vehicle -
Connectivity is changing the design of the car in many more ways than simply losing the tape deck. We take a look at how the shape, look and feel of automobiles is evolving.
- Forget Driving - Designed for Living! Debate the proliferation of in-car entertainment features and workspace functions as the role of the human as a driver is minimized
- Import your Digital Life – Extend the vehicle lifecycle by allowing consumers to transfer their digitized preferences so that all cars are truly personalised and contemporary
- Welcome to the Design House – Balance the grand designs of Auto Shows with practical reality to predict what the car of the future might look like (e.g. types and styles of interiors)

Jack Palmer, Project Director for the event commented, “This panel has generated so much interest already. We could have filled it twice over – so many people have come forward and said they’d like to give their view on the topic. He continued, “Connectivity, on-demand mobility and automation will combine to produce a mobility solution unrecognisable from the car of today”.
