Yanfeng Automotive Interiors unveils XiM20 autonomous rideshare vehicle interior

Sunnyvale, California (ots) -

Concept showcases future interior experiences for autonomous
rideshare

Yanfeng Automotive Interiors, the world's largest automotive
interior supplier, unveiled the Experience in Motion demonstrator
2020 (XiM20), in Sunnyvale, California. This is a fully autonomous
rideshare concept, offering new consumer experiences that are
customizable to passenger's preferences to better suit their
journeys. XiM20 is a reflection of the most in-depth primary research
the company has done to date.

"Approaching this next iteration of the XiM demonstrator, we knew
it was critical to evaluate users' wants and needs within the vehicle
and outside of the mobility context," said Han Hendriks, Chief
Technology Officer, Yanfeng Automotive Interiors. "The insights
gleaned from our research defined what impacts consumers' quality of
life and what creates memorable, engaging experiences. With the
XiM20, advanced technologies and product innovations complement
intuitive design, providing flexibility and comfort for the
autonomous rideshare passengers of tomorrow."

The XiM20 showcases technology integrations that stimulate the
senses without overwhelming passengers with an array of options and
features. By camouflaging the demonstrator's screens and navigation
systems within the surfaces of the vehicle using Smart Surface
Technologies, passengers can choose whether or not to engage with the
innovations around them.

"As an industry leader, we have the capabilities to provide
holistic total interior solutions. As we approached this iteration of
the XiM, we had to ask ourselves: If we choose to feature every
product and technology available within this space, are we offering
value? Our research said "no." Instead, to design and develop
interiors in this context, we needed to understand and craft
experiences that are engaging and surprising, without being overly
complex. For future mobility, this is where the opportunity lies."
added Hendriks.
