YOUR TEAM

The “Pre-Development AI-enabled Experiences” focuses on innovating in-cabin experiences in the context of mobility. By considering the user, mobility and technology, we aim to shape a holistic mobility experience. Particularly AI-enabled experiences are at the forefront of our mind. Our multi-disciplinary team consists of software and system engineers working together with UX/UI concept/design specialists.  

The UX/UI-Team focusses on the user as the center of (pre-)developing inspiring vehicle cockpit and body-based mobility solutions by working according to the User-Centered Design Process (UCDP). This implies that innovative ideas and technologies are developed based on defined user requirements, realized as a prototype and tested via user studies. A high user experience as well as a very high usability while interacting with innovative functions, features and services are of major interest for the UX/UI-Team.
