Interior Forecast 2012

  • Customization is key in up and coming vehicles. Ambient lighting, such as the new Ford Flex's, creates an intimate and personable feeling for the driver.
  • The Bio Foam product is made of twenty-five percent bio-based materials (such as soy beans) creating an eco-friendly foam seat.
  • The lane Change Warning system would identify the traffic in the adjacent lane, allowing the driver to successfully merge into the next lane.
  • The Real Time Navigation system would function like the GPS or navigation system in today's cars but by integrating real-time data the driver can see whether there is upcoming traffic or road construction.
  • Using new innovations such as Light Altitudes seats would allow for less fuel consumption by taking away from the vehicle's mass.

  • Electric Window Tinting such as Maybach mooroof can change from transparent to opaque with the touch of a button allowing the driver to choose their preferred interior lighting
