In this episode of the Human-Technology Podcast, I analyze the current situation surrounding autonomous trucks. Together, we’ll take a look at the drivers behind this technology – from financial incentives due to driver shortages and high wages to logistical advantages in regions with long distances and weak rail networks, such as the United States. Which countries are leading in the adoption of autonomous trucks, and why is Europe progressing more slowly, despite having the highest potential for cost savings?
I discuss the challenges posed by Europe’s varied landscapes and shorter routes and explore why China is making rapid progress toward autonomous trucking despite lower driver wages and economic differences. I also delve into the technological and legal hurdles that still need to be overcome worldwide to fully implement this technology.

In this episode of the Human-Technology Podcast, we dive deep into the future of the vehicle interior. I explore the three major game-changers currently revolutionizing the automotive industry: automation, software-defined vehicles, and—at the center of it all—artificial intelligence.
Where is AI being applied in the automotive industry? How is AI transforming our vehicle interiors? Which innovative use cases and sensory technologies are emerging? And what challenges must we, as an industry, overcome to fully harness the potential of these advancements? Join me on an exciting journey through the next steps in mobility.

Before the Mensch-Technik podcast takes a short summer break, here's a slightly more personal episode. I talk about 12 things I've had the opportunity to learn over the past few years that have changed me and my business.

In this episode of the Mensch-Technik Podcast, I take you to CarHMI – the most important meeting of the automotive HMI scene. For me, this event is like a family reunion: familiar faces, discussions about the past year's developments, and the exchange of experiences make it a highlight every time.

In addition to inspiring presentations, CarHMI also offers a variety of workshops. I would especially like to highlight the "World Café" format. In this episode, I provide an in-depth report on my World Café, which deals with one of the hottest topics in the industry: artificial intelligence in vehicles.

Join me as we dive into the world of HMI and get firsthand insights into the innovations and discussions that are driving the industry. Don't miss this episode – your source for the latest trends and insights into human-machine interaction in the automotive sector!

Every year in June, a hotel in Berlin-Mitte transforms into the mecca of human-machine interfaces in vehicles. The CarHMI, now one of the leading events in this field, attracts nearly 400 visitors and 31 exhibitors to the German capital. For me, this event has long become a kind of family reunion.

In this episode of the Human-Technology Podcast, I share my personal impressions of this year's CarHMI. Together, we dive into the latest developments in user experiences, technologies, and development tools. Join me on this exciting journey and discover the latest in human-machine interfaces in the automotive sector.

I'm back from China! After a five-year hiatus, I took the stage at EAC 2024. In this episode of the Human-Tech Podcast, I take you on a journey and share insights and revelations from the Middle Kingdom.

Dive into the world of future technologies and learn more about:

Artificial Intelligence: How is it transforming the landscape of technology and our daily lives?
Smart Cockpits: The future of driving – what can we expect?
Generative HMI: Innovations that revolutionize our interactions.
Health in the Car: How can vehicles enhance our well-being?
Cuteness of HMIs: Are cute human-machine interfaces particularly appealing to young women in China?

In today's episode of the Human-Technology Podcast, we are not talking about HMIs, the interfaces between humans and technology, but about the merging of humans and technology. I explore the transition from technologies that remain on the surface of the body, such as smartwatches, smart glasses, and VR headsets, to invasive technologies that are located within the body. The next logical step is systems that fully merge with humans.

I analyze the journey of technology from dark basements to our desks and finally into the human body. Along the way, I look at the current state of technology and examine the potential benefits and dangers of these developments. Tune in to learn more about the future where humans and technology become one!
