It’s tough to predict how autonomy, electrification, user interfaces and sustainable materials will impact the cockpit of the future – but automakers and suppliers are offering lots of clues.

Wards Intelligence surveyed and interviewed OEMs, tier 1 & 2 suppliers, consultants and other automotive experts to identify the key trends and technologies that will shape future cockpits to 2030 and beyond.
