It's about the relationship between humans and technology, about the design of technology. It's about how we can get our lives back by dropping technology addiction. Technology has two big problems: it's difficult to access and it's addicting. I want to make my listeners' lives better by opening their eyes to the design and use of technology. My goal is to change the way you look at the world and make it a better place.

In this episode of the Human-Technology Podcast, I take a comprehensive look at current developments and fundamental trends in the field of Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) in vehicles. It’s not just about technological progress — it’s also about a deeper question: How is our relationship with technology evolving, and what does that mean for the design of the interfaces between humans and machines?
Four key topics are in focus:
- The digitalization of cockpits: From physical buttons to software-defined interfaces — how the vehicle is transforming into a digital device
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto: The revolution of Bring Your Own Device — opportunities, risks, and strategic dilemmas for OEMs
- External HMIs: When vehicles communicate with their surroundings — new forms of interaction through light, gesture, projection, and sound
- AI and multimodality: Why voice assistants, eye tracking, and intelligent support systems are fundamentally reshaping HMIs — and how trust becomes the key UX factor
This episode blends technological analysis with user-centered reflection. Because the best technologies are those that disappear — and still make an impact.
