CES 2020: This is how Continental sees the future

This solution was developed in Continental's development platform for driverless technologies, Cube. Safety, accessibility, comfort and the on-board experience are intended to increase the acceptance of these vehicles and enable widespread adoption.

Position of the shuttle in the app
Continental shows how users can book a shuttle and reserve a seat via a smartphone app. While they wait for their ride, the shuttle's position can be constantly tracked in the app.

A personalized welcome message greets the user when the shuttle arrives. On a large display, passengers see all route information, available local services and notifications in the form of a dynamic timeline. To complement the in-vehicle display, passengers are also informed acoustically about their ride status and events.

Tailored offers
While driving through the city, information about sights as well as cultural and social events is displayed in real time. This creates opportunities for cities and service providers to reach their customers with tailored offers.

Before arrival, the vehicle displays information about connecting journeys. Passengers are informed, for example, about the departure time of the next available train or shuttle

Exterior noise for pedestrians
In addition, external screens with infographics display the sensor information to inform pedestrians or other vehicles that the shuttle has detected their presence. Alongside this, external sounds inform pedestrians that they have been detected in the vehicle's path and prompt them to move out of the way. When the vehicle stops to allow pedestrians to cross the road, the vehicle occupants are notified accordingly.
