Day 1 Tuesday, October 22

8am - Networking Breakfast

Opening Session - Room 1

Moderator: Dr George Kellie, director, Kellie Solutions Ltd/EDANA, UK

9am - The future of automotive interiorsColin Giles, technical research analyst - interiors and lighting, IHS Markit, USAThis presentation will explore how vehicle interiors, including seating, trim and interior functionality, will be influenced and changed by current automotive trends like electrification and the future that is possible with vehicle autonomy. The information presented will come from primary research conducted by IHS Markit as well as verbatims and survey results from supplier and OEM representatives, and will include analysis of the feasibility, launch timing and facilitators of these disruptive interior trends, plus some of the obstacles.

9:30am - Driving mobility to the consumer and beyond – through human-centric designJeevak Badve, principal and director of strategic growth, Sundberg-Ferar, USAIt’s not business as usual. It’s not just about keeping the immediate next customer happy. Rather, it’s about how you look beyond, down the entire set of real users in the creative supply chain. It’s about how you immerse yourself in robust design research, anticipating users’ needs, wants and desires to choose the correct ideas and solutions in the first place. It’s mandatory – if we really want to be distinctive in today’s sea-of-commodity market and with today’s informed and sophisticated users – that we blend in the correct attributes of functional and emotional needs in our product and service solutions, and intentionally and carefully design for those ideal user experiences. The myriad perceptions of use cases from autonomous vehicle interiors are rapidly evolving. They are constantly moving in all directions. So out of these multiple directions, how does your brand choose the ones in which to invest and mature its offerings? How do you converge on a concept that is not just feasible and viable, but is also truly sought-out and desired by the end consumers? It’s a mess out there and everyone is trying to be ‘all things to all people’, so let’s see how, in today’s market, we can strategize, plan and design to be focused and be ‘somebody to someone’.

10am - Driver state monitoring to support safety and well-beingBruce Mehler, research scientist, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USAThis presentation will consider the role of driver state monitoring (situational awareness, cognitive workload, health status, readiness to take control, etc) to support safety and well-being in the context of ADAS and higher-level autonomous vehicle systems.

10:30am - 11:10am - Break

11:10am - Exploring human-in-the-loop voice AI developmentNikhil Gowda, innovation project manager, Renault-Nissan, USABuilding good voice interaction is difficult. It involves components yet to be engineered. Despite the hype around voice agents, the technology is still too young to include in a car. The problems are in different areas of expertise from AI to design to system integration. The bigger issue is that the user is left out of the design process. We need a toolchain and working procedure that can support experiential design – an iterative design process that can bring various contributors to focus on the needs of the user.

11:40am - Servitization in automotive interiorsKimberly Clavin, executive consultant, Connected Technology - Pillar, part of Accenture Industry X.0, USAServitization is the art of creating mutual value by shifting from selling a product to selling an integrated product-service offering. Where’s the value proposition? To sell a product, you need to understand how consumers think, and personalize to derive value. Consumers don’t necessarily want a product, they want the outcome the product brings. Although services can provide outcome-based results, businesses have to balance ongoing customer engagement with revenue streams. Automotive interiors have an immense opportunity to strategically design for PSS. This talk will provide insights into the progression and approach toward servitization.

12:10pm - 2pm - Lunch

Understanding Autonomous Interiors - Room 2

Parallel Session

Moderator: Prof Thomas Pavlak, founding partner/founder and adjunct professor, Poco Labs/Autonomous Vehicle Alliance/College for Creative Studies, USA

2pm - The biggest design challenges aren’t in front of you – yetProf Thomas Pavlak, founding partner/founder and adjunct professor, Poco Labs/Autonomous Vehicle Alliance/College for Creative Studies, USAWe already know that the technology behind autonomous driving, connectivity and vehicle sharing will change how we experience the interior of the automobile. But we rarely consider what new experiential factors will be presented by new stakeholders. What will their impact be, particularly since those factors and stakeholders are normally outside the boundaries of a typical design brief? This presentation will offer insights from recently completed research conducted on behalf of the Autonomous Vehicle Alliance, and use those to describe a variety of future conditions that interior designers are very likely to encounter and have to accommodate.

2:30pm - The inside game: implications of technological disruption and regulations changeLance Bultena, senior counsel, automotive and mobility industry sector group, Hogan Lovells, USAKatherine Sheriff, knowledge manager, automotive and mobility industry sector group, Hogan Lovells, USAThe automotive industry is changing quickly. Technology will change the vehicles, the business models and ultimately the regulations involved. Governments around the world will help shape the evolution of the markets and impact the vehicles themselves and the business models involved. These combined forces of technology, business model change, consumer preferences and government rules will all reshape the industry and vehicle interiors. We explore those forces and some of the regulatory ‘sacred ground’ that is involved.


3:40pm - Safe self-driving cars: Level 4 and dynamic vehicle-driver transitionsShasank Nagavarapu, senior human-centered designer, Lextant, USALevel 4 autonomous driving is around the corner, with our vehicles safely driving for us within an operational domain. But what happens when the driver has to take over? Is it a stop-then-go transition? Imagine dozens of cars pulling to the side of the freeway at off-ramps, waiting for their drivers to take control! Can we avoid that by designing a dynamic transition? How can the vehicle’s interior be designed for the driver to safely take over while the vehicle stays in motion? This talk will discuss how a vehicle interior can enable safe vehicle-driver transition of control.

4:10pm - User experience in an autonomous vehicleKyle Davis, user experience analyst, IHS Markit, USAThe presentation will examine the current landscape of the user



experience in an autonomous vehicle, and how it will change to accommodate autonomous vehicles. This includes having more displays around the vehicles, different ways in which humans will input information in the vehicle, and the overall user experience. Some of the trends that we will see in the autonomous vehicle are augmented reality head-up displays, virtual personal assistants (VPAs), gesture control, driver monitoring and much more.

9am - Don’t just see through, but see with: in-vehicle multimodalityDr Carie Cunningham, senior UX researcher, Cerence Inc, USAThis presentation will discuss UX research results around in-vehicle experiments. How do drivers use all five senses? What combinations of interactions add value to the car? Which alerts calm drivers and which ones stress them out?

9:30am - Comparison of visual appearance and checkerboard contrast ratio measurements of high-contrast displaysDr Vyacheslav Birman, expert, Continental, USAThe goal of this study is to estimate the value of noise in the human eye and the measuring instrument during observation and measurement of high-contrast-ratio displays with checkerboard image. It will allow the following questions to be answered. What contrast can be appreciated by a human observer? What range of contrast ratio can be measured directly by imaging photometers? A proposal for measurement method improvement will be formulated and an alternative method of crosstalk measurement will additionally be proposed.




10am - Validation of driver and occupant monitoring systemsWerner Streich, managing director, CMORE Automotive US Inc, USADriver monitoring systems (DMS) usually consist of a driver camera and can detect the driver’s head pose, gaze, eyelid opening, identity, facial expressions, etc. Occupant monitoring systems (OMS) usually consist of cameras to observe either the driver and co-driver or passengers on the rear seat. There are applications such as gesture detection that can only be done with an OMS, applications such as head pose detection that can be done by an OMS and a DMS, and applications such as eyelid opening that can be done only by DMS. This talk gives an overview of similarities and differences in DMS versus OMS validation.

10:30am - 11am - Break

11am - Interior LEDs make autonomous vehicles a stronger realityKimberly Peiler, senior application engineering manager automotive, Osram Opto Semiconductors, USAThe right lighting at the right time and place can help passengers in semi- and fully autonomous vehicles feel more comfortable by providing a clear understanding of what their vehicle is encountering on the road at any given moment. Peripheral-vision stimuli can be used to alert passengers when their attention has shifted, for instance, to warn them of a hard turn or sudden stop. Thousands of tiny, full-color LEDs embedded throughout a vehicle offer visual cues and critical warnings, as well as functional and welcoming space lighting for passengers. In addition, the design of LED lighting affects human moods, concentration and performance.
