The conceptual Bang & Olufsen Steering Wheel Speaker has been designed by Alexandre Picard as a future-facing idea for the automotive industry that imagines how the infotainment system inside vehicles could be enhanced. The wheel draws design inspiration from the Beolab series of products from B&O and features intuitive touchscreen controls to accommodate intuitive control. Users will be provided with auditor feedback from the vehicle as well as voice assistants thanks to the speaker functionality built right into the body of the wheel for enhanced ease of use.
The conceptual Bang & Olufsen Steering Wheel Speaker identifies a clever way of upgrading the user experience inside the vehicle cabin and would further support the shift towards autonomous driving capabilities.
