As vehicles become software-defined, the automotive cockpit is undergoing a fundamental redesign, with HMI evolving from displays and controls into dynamic, intelligent systems that shape how drivers and passengers interact with increasingly capable vehicles.
Building on the themes and questions explored in our technology insight, this follow-up live roundtable brings together three leading subject-matter experts to examine the future of in-vehicle HMI.
The session will address:
- The current state of HMI innovation as OEMs transition toward software-defined vehicles
- How next-generation HMI design can deliver richer user engagement without increasing cognitive load and driver distraction
- Which approaches – from display strategies and cockpit layouts to multimodal inputs like voice, haptics, gesture, and gaze – are proving most effective in practice
- How AI-driven personalization will reshape the cockpit experience, and how far vehicles can go in anticipating and adapting to individual occupant needs and preferences
- What the cockpit experience will look like as vehicles approach full autonomy
