Automotive Sound, towards a 360 degree multi-content experience

The market of car sound systems is possibly the single largest buyer of transducers in the world, and surely it represents a substantial part of the market of audio amplifiers as well.   Designs already offer customers multi-dimensional experiences, with ceiling or headrest channels and speakers, but what is the event-horizon beyond which manufacturers are trying to look?   What will be the possible scenario once the debate about self-driven cars will safely land into a set of regulations freeing drivers from their (previously) necessary duties?

Dr Ludo Ausiello has worked across the industry in product development and R&D, including working for Tannoy, Harman Automotive and Premium Sound Solutions.   He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Audio and Acoustic Engineering at Solent University, specialising in transducer design, audio systems design, audio production, and acoustics in the built environment.To register for this meeting follow this link.
