With the continuous development of relevant hardware and software, the cockpit is becoming ‘smart’, pivoting—at least in marketing terms—from a functional area to a user experience. A smart cockpit is not only a display, even with larger screen or multiple screens, it is about a complete immersive experience for the user, including smart surfaces all around, lighting, voice and gesture control, and so very much more. Most new vehicle cockpits are growing in this direction by leaps and bounds, and all new Chinese vehicles coming to the Western markets have innovative features in their cockpit. That’s what we look at in this week’s in-depth piece.
As the smart cockpit is becoming more and more the centerpiece of the car interior, it represents the interior of the future. That’s the topic we have selected as the theme for the 2024 DVN-Interior Workshop, along with new features and emerging technologies. Save the dates: 23-24 April in Köln. We will tell you more as we get closer to the event, and if you want to be a speaker or an exhibitor, you’ll receive the first flyer very soon.
We’re looking forward to see you at the 2024 Workshop!
Sincerely yours,
