We support the change to a modern user interface from classical buttons up to a multi-sensoric touch field with active haptical feedback to ensure the least amount of driver's distraction.  

New Design  opportunities  and  space  optimization  can  be  achieved  with  foil  and  carrier  approaches  –Continental  has  with  ContiTech  an expert in  the  family  –  more  differentiaton  for  lower  cost.  Functional  foil  layers  host multi-sensoric  touch  and light. A surface  foil  provides  huge  design  options  from  classical  plastics  up  to  premium  materials  like Alcantara  incorporating  Continental's  In2visible  technology.    

Autonomous  driving  and  enhanced  passenger  safety  require  multiple  sensors  in  the  roof  area. The  overhead  console's  physical  position  is  perfect  to  bundle  this  information  – a  roof  zone. This  information  is  passed  on via  ethernet  for  final  processing  to  the  Central Body Controller /  High Performance Computer.
