New automotive trends The Cockpit Revolution New needs to be addressed

HMI & Smart Surfaces with fusion of electronics and decoration parts

Enrichment of entertainment, navigation and communication platforms

New interior architecture adapting to new driving modes and enabling to move positions of interior components

Automotive megatrends/ C.A.S.E. vehicles

Connectivity / Data

Car Occupants

Service continuity

Connected Vehicles

Autonomous Vehicles

Electrical Vehicles

Shared Vehicles

Connected and autonomous vehicles will fuel in-car apps usage

As autonomous modes increase, car users will have more time and more need for in-car apps usage.

They will demand continuity of service (business, personal, etc.).

Electronics and interiors separated

Electronics brain and display in one infotainment box

Split of electronics brain and display “multifunctions" displays

appear

Full black panel effect displays appear

Electronics become seamless-integrated-decoration parts

Display fully integrated into decoration part "Smart Surfaces"

HMI transformation is already happening "Real-life" evolution towards electronics and interiors fusion
