Debates

There will be an special invited debate on autonomous cars, curated by Albrecht Schmidt.

Panelists: Bastian Pfleging (Program chair of Auto-UI 2017), Manfred Tscheligi (Member of the Steering Committee of Auto-UI, former conference chair of MobileHCI and AutoUI) and Kaisa Väänänen (chair of the Steering Committee of Mobile HCI)

Discussion: Interaction in and with future cars – many questions and some answers.

When will we drive autonomously? And what new interaction challenges will arise? Is productivity while mobile in the car the next big thing? What can we learn from mobile interaction in public transport? Are the challenges overrated and do we only need our mobile devices in the car?
