Continental: holistic human-machine interaction for autonomous vehicles
To garner large-scale user acceptance and confidence for autonomous mobility solutions, the technology company Continental is developing a holistic solution for human-machine interaction, specifically designed for autonomous vehicles. This solution was developed in the CUbE, Continentals development platform for driverless technologies. Autonomous shuttle buses or robo-taxis currently being tested along predetermined routes will pave the way for tomorrow’s driverless vehicles, which will smoothly navigate complex, mixed traffic scenarios. But before they become a regular feature on urban roads, robo-taxis must gain wide-ranging user acceptance and trust. Safety, accessibility, comfort and an immersive onboard experience will drive acceptance for these vehicles, ultimately leading to their large-scale adoption.
