Learn how to design your future using the incredible technology of connected cars at SXSW with this workshop. This event will focus on the connected car and how its impact on our lives in the present as well as in the future, saving room for discussions on technology that isn't here yet but is under development.
Many connected cars make use of user-centered design where designers use people and consumers as their starting point, figure out their needs and then design the car around it, rather than starting with the technology and working towards it. This approach has exciting implications for motorists.
By attending this event focusing on connected cars at SXSW, people stand to learn about the positive implications of connected cars as well as the negatives, such as being distracted by technology when you should be keeping your eyes on the road.
