Carbon neutrality is an urgent issue that we must address. Taking automobiles as an example, it is necessary to consider not only the use of the product, but also the entire life cycle, including the production of fuel. In addition, the situation regarding energy and the way automobiles are used differ from region to region, and it is important that the products satisfy customer convenience in each region as well as lower CO2 emissions. With the same desire as all parties involved, we will strive to overcome social issues through the provision of new mobility.　

At this very moment, automobiles are undergoing a major evolution.
It is no exaggeration to say that a car with high-performance chips, intelligent driving capabilities, and easy-to-use infotainment features is like a "computer on wheels".
As advanced driver assistance system and autonomous driving gain more popularity in the future, time and energy spent on manual driving will be reduced and even eliminated, allowing the driver and riders to enjoy their free time inside the car as it drives itself. In some cases, the space inside the car will be drastically renewed, including the elimination of the driver's seat and changes in seating orientation.
With the computerization of cars, increased in-car free time, and more spacious interior, activities that used to be done only at home or in the office can now can be done in the car, and the boundaries between inside and outside the car will somehow melt away in near future.

Leaders in this evolutionary era of auto industry will be those emerging technology-driven automakers or players from other industries. They are looking for opportunities to win the battle of users' in-car time by leveraging their deep understanding of users and ability to provide value that is not bound by traditional thinking.
In this presentation, we will discuss the in-car experience in the era of "computer on wheels" from both the customers' needs and the emerging technology perspectives. Then we will cover topics such as the keys to achieve an engaging and enjoyable in-car experience, as well as the steps that Japanese companies should take in the future.
