The future of cabin interaction lies in a holistic HMI seamlessly integrating in-car controls with connected applications. This presentation explores how intuitive app-based controls redefine the way users interact with vehicles, moving beyond traditional function-based systems. By leveraging voice commands, touchless gestures, and personalized app interfaces, drivers and passengers can manage everything from climate settings to navigation in a cohesive ecosystem. The integration of connected features ensures that the cabin is not only responsive but also adaptive — enhancing convenience, safety, and user engagement.

In this session, you will learn how:

  • App-based controls enable seamless management of in-car features like climate and navigation
  • Voice commands and touchless gestures redefine interaction, moving beyond traditional buttons
  • Connected HMIs create an adaptive ecosystem for enhanced convenience and safety
  • Holistic design ensures a smarter, more engaging in-cabin user experience
