Eine diverse und umfassende Konferenz mit Hauptschwerpunkt auf den wichtigsten Trends für Fahrzeuginnenräume von heute und morgen sowie die Herausforderungen und Chancen, die sich aus einer neuen Generation von autonomen Fahrzeugen ergeben.
The Future of Automotive Interiors widmet sich ausschließlich der Erforschung des Innenraumdesigns zukünftiger Fahrzeuge, innovativen Sitzkonfigurationen, Beleuchtung, Ergonomie, Instrumentierung, Bediensystemen, neuen HMI-Ansätzen, Unterhaltungssystemen und Konnektivität in Fahrzeugen, dem Wohlbefinden im Fahrzeug und Sicherheitsfragen sowie den Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen, die sich durch zunehmende Fahrzeugautonomie und anspruchsvollere, besser informierte Kunden ergeben.
Angesichts der steigenden Verbrauchernachfrage nach nachhaltigeren und ethischen Lösungen, die allergenfrei, antimikrobiell und schadstofffrei sind, wird die Notwendigkeit einer neuen Generation von Materialien erörtert. Weiterhin wird auf die neuesten HMI-Ansätze eingegangen, mit Schwerpunkt auf Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Sicherheit, ebenso wie auf inklusiverem Design, um den Bedürfnissen einer sich ändernden und älter werdenden Gesellschaft gerecht zu werden.
Ein weiterer Themenschwerpunkt sind die disruptiven Auswirkungen von Fahrerassistenzsystemen und vollständiger Autonomie, mit besonderem Fokus auf der Sicherheit und dem Wohlbefinden von Fahrzeuginsassen. Die Konferenz bietet die perfekte Plattform, um die aus aufregenden neuen Technologien wie Haptiksensoren, Head-up-Displays mit Augmented Reality, 3D-Druck und intelligenter Beleuchtung entstehenden Möglichkeiten besser zu verstehen.

Synopsis: The car of the future will display elegant and ergonomic design with embedded sensors, touch surfaces and biomimetic multi-colored components. Cars will be made more functional and will be based on more intelligent materials: dashboard, central console, knobs, panels, seats, ceiling, armrests, kick plates will be made by novel processes and materials that are more intelligent and customized. All the manufacturing phases necessary for successful integration will be evaluated regarding the materials and processes as well. An example of the application of system integration will be shown, focusing on improved functionalities and complexity.

Synopsis: Currently, all the attention on autonomous vehicles is focused on self-driving; but what about the interior? We at Toyota Boshoku feel that the interior functions and features need to work autonomously for the occupants' comfort and convenience and a superb mobility experience. The MX191 concept for the year 2025 addresses this goal holistically, through its uniquely developed six concierge systems that take care of the occupants in the interior space.

Synopsis: Internationally there is strong and very evident rapid growth and drive for new-generation materials offering genuinely sustainable solutions. The automotive industry is clearly faced with this challenge, at the same time as dramatic changes are taking place in powertrains, and with very demanding emissions legislation. There are some exciting solutions available that can meet many of these challenges simultaneously. Dr Kellie will focus on developments in plastics and non-woven materials in this very timely presentation.

Synopsis: We have all seen futuristic interior designs of mobility products. But we have no way of knowing if these designs will indeed be the final product we’ll see. What we do know is who will be using these products. Understanding the future users and consumers will help us bring values to the forefront of our products and brands, to create more meaningful and enjoyable experiences. This lecture will help you understand how to use materials and technologies to create an emotional bond with your product.

Synopsis: As a result of an expected increase in passenger kilometers traveled with higher automation levels, carsickness is gaining more and more attention in the automotive research community. In this talk, an overview of several studies by Ford and its partners will be presented investigating carsickness in detail. Surveys were conducted to get a basic understanding of today’s carsickness incidence, customers’ perception of influencing factors and individual differences. Controlled lab experiments underlined the relevance of motion predictability and the mitigating potential of making motion more predictable. Finally, first on-road trials evaluated an early prototype of a cueing-based carsickness mitigation concept.
