New technologies and software developments are pushing the boundaries of what is possible with spatial audio. The automotive industry has already started to pick up on the benefits spatial audio can bring to the in-car experience. In this paper, we take a specific focus on spatial audio for automotive as it relates to personalised sound zones. Personalised sound zones open up brand new sonic opportunities for in-cabin entertainment, communication, safety, and more. With the combination of algorithms and hardware we can re-think the interactions with audio inside the car and solve many accepted pain points of the in-car experience.
