But here's something else you probably didn't know about the guy: his previous job at Mazda was interior design chief. Though he now has a lot more responsibility, Montousse has a stunningly creative vision for future Mazda interiors: 2D is dead and 3D will be its replacement. We'll explain. Montousse believes that, "generally, technology is taking over the interior space," and autonomous driving is mainly to blame, for better or worse. But for Montousse, autonomous tech doesn't have to be boring. "Go autonomous and embrace it. Don't do gimmicky technology," Montousse explains. "There's no value in it. There's huge value behind the act of driving and being fully connected. Technology has to be incorporated."
