Alongside drivetrain electrification there’s another trend growing in the car world: screens. In cars of the future, there will be more display real-estate on the dashboard than ever before. 

UX (user experience) and UI (User Interface) design are both critical when it comes to designing interfaces meant for cars. Safety, simplicity, and usability are just some of the important aspects to consider when …

Automotive UX is one of the most rapidly evolving and exciting user experience disciplines. It requires designers to shift their thinking from keeping users engaged to designing for safety.

Interactions between a driver and a screen must be simple, non-distracting, and easily interrupted, so the driver’s attention can quickly return to the road.

What is an automotive user interface? How to create one? What are the best practices? Who sets the trends on the market and dictates the future? 

With the ongoing integration of advanced computer systems into vehicles, the interfaces within are becoming ever-more complex.

It’s hard not to overstate just how different the world’s vehicles could become if the connected, autonomous, shared and electric vision of the future fully materializes.

Vehicles communicating with highways, buildings, and each other will transform the automotive industry. Audi concept cars offer a glimpse into the future.
