Automotive User Experience (AUX)

This course provides an overview of development methods and tools relating to the automotive user experience (AUX), including how to implement the AUX in harmony with Automotive SPICE and agile development. AUX methods allow developers to ‘get under the skin’ of user requirements, develop prototypes in keeping with these needs and measure product quality based on customer perception(s). What are the best tools and processes for AUX methods in order to meet the requirements of certain interest groups and – importantly – drive product differentiation during innovation? How can these methods be linked to the bottom line in terms of financial revenues and drive the entire company forwards?
