Nowadays Human Machine Interfaces (HMis) provide both safe and enjoyable driving. In order to improve
interaction between drivers and their vehicles, the automotive industry is going through a Human Machine
Interface revolution to change the way drivers and passengers interact with their cars.
In this regard, we.CONECT is hosting again the annual Car HMi concepts & systems conference in Berlin dealing
with strategic approaches and new technologies on how to improve developments, concepts & systems in
automotive HMi, manage an increasing application infrastructure in the car and create the ultimate user
experience design. More than 130 board-level attendees from OEMs and major automotive suppliers,
engineering & software companies gather to introduce and discuss ideas, strategies and projects on the
successful implementation of HMi.
Following keynotes from major global operating companies are part of the speakers panel of this years Car HMi

Massachusetts Institute of Technology | Dr. Bryan Reimer, Research Scientist,
AgeLab, is going to address driver attention with the modern Mixed Mode Interface.
During his Case Study he will showcase observations from field studies, implications
for the future of automated driving and current research efforts to develop empirical
HMi evaluation system that emphasizes driver attention management across the
various modalities.
Israel General Motors – Research & Development | Dr. Yael Shmueli-Friedland,
Senior Researcher Advanced Technical Center, will refer on In-vehicle Multimodal
Interaction and how drivers can combine speech and touch in their vehicle. She is
