TechTalk: ‘The Psychology of Mobility,’ March 30, 10 a.m. EDT

As cars become more advanced and connected, engineers and technicians are not the only ones responsible for putting a vehicle on the street

Auburn Hill, Mich.—As cars become more advanced and connected, engineers and technicians are not the only ones responsible for putting a vehicle on the street. Human machine interface (HMI) designers, human factor researchers and psychologists are instrumental in making mobility a safe and enjoyable experience. Human factor psychologists and designers explore and work together to integrate their research and design into Continental’s  technology innovations.

In order to share their insights and practical examples, Continental is hosting a TechTalk on “Psychology of Mobility” which will take place digitally via Teams on March 30, at 10 a.m. EDT.

The program will be as follows:
