About

The user experience in the interior describes the entirety of the interactions that a user has with the various systems and technologies during their time in the vehicle. The focus here is on creating a pleasant, intuitive and entertaining environment that makes the journey a positive experience. We are looking for unique solutions that enhance connectivity in terms of an improved experience in the cabin. For example, it could be based on AI, crowdsourcing, network prioritisation, enhanced HW functions, etc. to improve the in-vehicle experience or enable new experiences, be it in terms of safety or other occupant experiences.
