Antolin Partners with UltraSense to Develop Solid-State HMI for Cars

Antolin has announced a partnership with UltraSense to create solid-state human-machine interface (HMI) systems for vehicles. This collaboration aims to replace traditional mechanical controls with touch-sensitive surfaces that can be configured via software. The move comes as interior suppliers face increasing pressure to integrate advanced electronics and software into vehicle cabins.

Solid-state HMI technology eliminates physical buttons and knobs, allowing for more flexible interior designs. These systems rely on capacitive touch and haptic feedback to provide intuitive control. UltraSense specializes in such touch interfaces, and the partnership with Antolin will bring these solutions to automotive applications.

The shift toward software-configurable surfaces reflects broader industry trends, where vehicles are increasingly defined by their digital features. Consumers expect seamless connectivity and customizable experiences, pushing suppliers to innovate. Antolin’s collaboration with UltraSense is a strategic step to meet these demands and stay competitive in the evolving automotive market.
