In this episode of the Human-Technology Podcast, I take you along on my journey to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, which I attend every year in early January. This time, I delve into the current trends, particularly within the automotive industry. What developments are shaping the sector? How is artificial intelligence evolving in the automotive field? And where do we stand with Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) in cars? The episode not only highlights exciting innovations but also explores my personal disappointments. Join me on this exploration and discover what CES 2024 holds for the future of technology!

In this episode of the Human-Technology Podcast, we take a focused look at Software Defined Vehicles, a significant trend in the automotive industry. Following my participation in a specialized conference that delved into technical challenges, processes, structures, and security aspects, I elaborate in detail on the use cases in this episode. Emphasizing that the value of this technology, like any technological advancement, ultimately depends on practical and applicable use cases, I analyze and discuss the potential use cases of Software Defined Vehicles. Enjoy listening!

A central concern of my consulting projects and keynote presentations is to create awareness of the diverse options available to my clients. In this episode, I delve deeply into the future: What lies behind this concept, how can we actively shape it, and what significance should it hold in our lives?

The development of HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces) is a fascinating task. An important part of this is the interaction with project managers, CEOs, CTOs, developers and sales. Added to this is the complexity and the perceived “softness” of the topic. HMI developers are often overwhelmed in this constellation. In this episode I outline the 3P principle that can be used to successfully overcome these challenges.

Donald A. Norman is a renowned psychologist, cognitive scientist, and usability expert, known for his significant contributions to psychology, human perception, and the design of user-friendly products and systems. He has contributed greatly to the development of concepts and principles aimed at enhancing the design of software, websites, and other interactive systems to improve user-friendliness. In this podcast episode, I delve into three of his most important books.

The last weekend, I spent at a Speaker Bootcamp in Frankfurt. I had the opportunity to learn a lot, met some amazing people, and it set a few thought processes in motion. I'll be discussing this in today's episode of the 'Human-Technology Podcast'.

In this episode, I will be sharing highlights from my summer vacation. However, I won't be delving into intricate accounts of my experiences in pubs and on cliffs. Instead, I will be leveraging my time in Ireland to engage in discussions on topics such as automated behavior, intercultural differences, and Apple CarPlay.

Artificial intelligence is omnipresent. It is an integral part of many applications that we use every day: search engines, online shops, social media. The danger of singularity, i.e. the displacement of humans by ever more intelligent machines, is discussed again and again. If the use of AI is always displayed in HMIs, users can decide for themselves how to deal with the information and decisions of the AI. As part of the KARLI project, I analyzed how AI can be represented in automotive HMIs.
