Where controls meet intent: Industrial design for the agentic cabin - Workshop

28 Oct 2026
Booth A130
Day 2 PM - In-Cabin WOrkshop
Vehicle interiors are being redesigned from the inside out. Screens have grown, physical controls are making a comeback, and AI assistants are starting to act on the driver's behalf. For design and engineering teams, the question is no longer screens or buttons, but which interactions belong where, and what each choice means for the product. This session from Munro & Associates takes an industrial design view of the cabin: where physical, digital and hybrid interiors stand today, how agentic assistants could reshape them in the years ahead, and how to design interiors that deliver real customer value while staying practical to build, validate and service.
