People think that as automation increases,
the need for human input decreases
and that's actually counterintuitive.
As automation increases, we need more input,
what the humans are thinking, but we don't
want to take them on the road because imagine
we want to see their reactions when a big
truck is swerving into an autonomous car.
Do not want to put that on the road.
So here it's more controlled.
We simulate how an autonomous vehicle would
behave on the roads but it's all in our garage
right here.
So that controlled environment allows us to
really test over and over again with say 100 users
and we show them different prototypes.
What are those patterns when they
go across that specific crosswalk
and junction.
How do they react?
The idea is to evoke those responses right
now.
We're there to capture any body language.
It's very tight and cozy in there so we're
able to pick up on the signs that the users
are expressing.
And that's good because we want to be in the
same mindset as they are.
We really need to think outside of the box.
So I think this is how Aptiv is really transforming
itself in the mobility space.
