Automated driving technologies, electrification, and shifting customer
priorities are inspiring the transformation of vehicle cockpit design
and materials.
11 Prepping Cities for Vehicle Autonomy
Deployment of new V2I technology and upgrades to existing roadway
infrastructure can assist AVs and improve safety for all road users.
15 Keeping Pace with In-Vehicle Data Speed
Higher speed and bandwidth for in-vehicle networks, switches, and

25 New Tools & Technologies
The interior space, and the technologies
therein, are being reimagined by OEMs and
Tier 1s as the industry moves further into
automated driving capabilities - and prepares
for SAE Level 4 autonomy. On our cover this
month is a look inside the XiM21 (Experience
in Motion 2021) concept car from Yanfeng
Automotive. It features production-ready
'Smart Cabin' sensing and occupant-interface
technologies, the latest 'zero gravity' seating,
and new materials applications that point
toward future customizable AV cabins.
